"I gained independence and self-confidence. I think that made the trip worthwhile for me."
A student SUNY - Binghamton
"This program was absolutely worthwhile because it didn't have a eurocentric approach to education, unlike the many colleges and universities we attend in the United States.

Sandeep T Hobart and William Smith Colleges
"Absolutely worthwhile! I feel that this semester is the first time in my life where I have actually seen the world, and I don't mean seen in the physical sense as in traveling to other countries. I participated in religious customs, learned about different cultures, met so many new people, felt so loved by strangers, and saw the..."

"As a student of Environmental Biology in St. Louis, this program gave me field research experiences I couldn't have gotten anywhere else that perfectly complemented what I had already learned in school.

"This program was definitely worthwhile in a number of ways, particularly regarding the cultural immersion. We lived with host families who welcomed us into their homes and their hearts, introducing us to their culture, dinners, coffee chats, and watching soccer games in front of the television together. Both our host families an..."
