"My experience was my favorite part of my college life. I learned what culture was, how to navigate the world through a different perspective, and how to inter culturally communicate. I have a family in Cameroon, and I hope to return one day soon. "

"I learned to speak french in conversation and in class. I learned to relate to other people from different cultures than my own. I grew an understanding for all immigrants that move to a part of the world where they must use a new language. "

"People often say that their study abroad experience changed their life. But this one actually does. I found my voice, my strength, and a whole new appreciation for East African culture and the experiences of the northern Ugandan people. I experienced some of the emotional and heart-wrenching moments on this trip, but I think ..."
Kristen H University of Pittsburgh - Pittsburgh

Andrea B New College of Florida
"I can't even put into words how much I learned. I gained far more academic knowledge than I expected too, and I also learned a lot on a personal level. It was absolutely worthwhile, it was one of the best life decisions I have ever made."
Kara F Ohio State University - Columbus
"When you arrive in Gulu, you are given an Acoli name; mine was Lanyero, meaning laughter and joy. That name paved my way through the most beautiful and challenging journey of my life, meeting extraordinary individuals and hearing their stories, bouncing over treacherous African roads, and witnessing post-conflict transformation ..."
Madison S Franklin College Switzerland
"How can I best put my IHP experience into words? Honestly. I can’t. Every time I think back to my time spent abroad with IHP, I remember so many amazing moments that stole my breath, changed my life, and rocked my world. At the beginning of IHP you meet many alumni and faculty that throw this term ‘life-changing’ at you lik..."
Wren T Johns Hopkins University
"I had an incredible semester. I gained great experiences working with NGO's and living with my host family. I was very lonely, however, because I could not meet Brazilians my age and did not want to hang out with other American students."
Alex B Pomona College
"I learned a great deal about Public Health in Brazil, as well as the culture from the region. It was completely worthwhile, because I was able to utilize my new knowledge base and conduct research in the area. "
Jacqueline S University of Denver
"It enriched my life and perspective with new cultural and personal experiences. It increased my global perspective and strayed away from a U.S. centric one. Also, on an emotional level, it forced me to grow as a person by making me take on challenges that I never would have thought I would be able to do. It was completely worthw..."
Nina P Occidental College
"It was worthwhile for sure. I learned so much about Kenyan culture as well as I learned a lot about myself."

"I learned a lot about myself, and what it was like to live in a European state that tries to keep itself aloof and separated from the rest of the continent."
John S Austin College
"I have learned about life lessons that you hear about in the classroom but experience firsthand and keep with you for life, including the love between family and the villages, how to appreciate what you have, how to give unconditionally, and so much more. It was completely worthwhile because some people can be tucked nicely away..."
A student Fordham University
"I learned so much about the new culture, about appreciating differences among people. One way of doing things is not always the correct way. History needs to be looked through a critical lens, and I also learned there are individuals who just cant take the cultural shock. Its all about going with the flow and learning as much as..."
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"Social skills, confidence, adaptability, acceptance. It was probably one of the best decisions I've made in my life so far."
Yang T Wellesley College
"THe ability to really rely on myself and push myself to my limits. Stepping out of my comfort zone in the Pacific was one of the most beneficial things I could have done for myself. Living with 20 other students forced me to become even more patient and accepting of others who act and think differently than myself. My experience..."
A student Austin College
"I had incredible cultural exposure and absolutely loved the topic and conversations I was able to have throughout. I gained a lot of confidence and a more global world view. I wouldn't have traded the experience for anything. I simply wish the staff for the program were more academic, supportive and organized. "
risa.rylander Austin College
"This experience was definitely worthwhile. I learned a tremendous amount about Moroccan lifestyle and culture, Islamic traditions and life as a practicing Muslim, and gained new, unequivocal skills as a traveler. I also made long-lasting friendships both with fellow Americans on my program and with local Moroccans. "
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"Power and privilege was a big theme throughout the program. Being able to visit the national parks and live in Arusha as a student and a tourist gave me very different perspectives. It was a challenging experience but totally worthwhile. As a political science student I appreciated my time in Tanzania where I learned so much abo..."
A student Middlebury College
"I learned so much about the European lifestyle, and I thought that I knew more than I did going into the program. Switzerland was much different than I expected. "
Emily W The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned how another culture lives. I learned more about my personality by being stuck with the same 17 americans for most of the time. I practiced my Spanish and became conversationally fluent, which was my goal so yay! Definitely worthwhile because I chose the program carefully and it catered exaclty to my desires and inte..."

"This program was definitely worthwhile. Besides gaining language skills, I was exposed to several ways of living, and word visions that I had never seen before, which challenged me to look at my own lifestyle. I also gained a very close relationship with my first host family that I foresee continuing in the future. Finally, the ..."
A student Trinity University
"I learned how to live up and do science research by myself in a foreign country. Most importantly, I was deeply touched and inspired by the professors here who cares about the environment deeply with their heart. To learn biology and conservation with these amazing people in Amazon and Galapagos? Of course it's so worthwhile!! "
A student Middlebury College
