"Studying abroad was one of the most worthwhile things I have done. To be able to live with my host mom and have her teach me so much about the language and the culture, to travel as much as I did to so many amazing places, and to make a few good friends in a sea of immature Americans, were really life changing. I am so glad I ..."

The 6-week program is perfect for someone looking to get the benefits of studying abroad in a short amount of time: in my case, I'm a big homebody but love to travel, so it was just the right amount of time away from home. I feel like st..."
