Britt L Middlebury College
"It was worthwhile. Living alone and figuring out stuff outside academics. "
A student Wellesley College

Nikhil S Middlebury College
"I met so many people from around the world and got to really be my extroverted self. I tried so many new foods and traveled to so many other countries I would have never gotten to go to otherwise. I found out I LOVE Lisbon and I never would have gone there if it hadn't just been the cheapest flight in March!"
