Important Dates and Deadlines
No important dates configured."Yes. I now know that I don't want to focus on biology, but that I love environmental science as a genera. The independent research was the original draw, and the portion I loved best. The people were amazing, the program was challenging, far reaching, but poorly timed. "
Sarah B Carleton College
"For me, the program was perfect and I couldn't have asked for better structure or a more dually challenging and rewarding experience."
Lily S Carleton College
"YES! Although I did speak English with the program people, I spent the vast majority of my time speaking Spanish with Argentines. My Spanish improved immensely and I learned to live like an Argentine. All very worth it for me!"
Peter S Carleton College
"I'm glad I went because I would have regretted not doing so. I learned some interesting things, and spent a lot of time being bored in class. "
Jane T Carleton College
"It was definitely a good experience. Academically, I don't know that it was on par with my college in the states, but studying abroad is much more than just the classes and I feel that I benefited greatly from the experience of living in a different culture and different language."

Sarah S Carleton College
"YES!!!"
Kate D Carleton College
"I have become better at going with the flow, I'm now more outgoing, and learning how to live in another culture has made me realize many things about my own (that I have one, for example). After being in Ecuador and seeing social workers at my internship, I have begun thinking seriously about social work, either international so..."
Laura G Carleton College
"Definitely!"
Devin D Carleton College
"ABSOLUTELY. I can't just return to life the same way I was living it before this program; I will incorporate this experience into my everyday routine because there is no way I could do otherwise. The people and the principles governing the program are incredibly admirable, and I'm inspired to improve myself and live to my greate..."
