Too much to explain, still looking for the words. Lydia W - Barnard College View Entire Review
This is an incredible program for a student who is motivated, independent, and invested in their own learning. They must be willing and excited by the prospect of spending the majority of their day immersed in the local culture, otherwise the day to day experiences could be overwhelming.

MY ABROAD EXPERIENCE WAS DEFINITELY WORTHWHILE AND I WOULD DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN IN A HEARTBEAT. MY EXPERIENCE IN SOUTH AFRICA TAUGHT ME TO BE MORE ACCEPTING AND OPEN-MINDED. SOUTH AFRICA ALSO MADE ME MORE INTERESTED IN POLITICS BOTH DOMESTIC AND INTERNATIONAL. ASHLEY F - Austin College View Entire Review
