Important Dates and Deadlines
Coming soon...
"I learned a lot about myself. You have to deal with a lot of drama and difficulties when traveling like this, but I learned that I can deal with all of that. I realized that I am capable of doing a lot more than I thought I was (traveling, exploring, staying safe, etc.). I feel a lot more grown up and mature. I am so proud o..."
A student Emerson College
"There's no way to put it in words- all I can say to this question is that this experience was probably the most important one I have had in my life so far, and will always be in the top 5. I would not change going for the world."
Jamie A Emerson College
"I gained a great sense of independence as well as an appreciation for things I have overlooked before. I now look upon the world through a different lens and I could not be any more grateful for that than I am right now. Of course it was worthwhile."

"That America is an awful place. Food in Europe is much better. Of course it was worthwhile. "
makzoutt Emerson College
"It was the most worthwhile experiences I've ever had in my life. I'm the same person I was when I left for Europe. I know more about the world, and more about myself. "
A student Emerson College

"I learned more about who I was and how I wanted to carry myself going forward, and I came to terms with some parts of myself that I had been previously struggling with prior to my experience"
A student Emerson College
"I learned so much about myself as a person. Traveling to different countries every weekend and experiencing different cultures was truly amazing and if I could do it all over again I would in a heartbeat!"

A student Emerson College

Christine M Emerson College
"Lots of great internship experiences"
Max C Emerson College
"Independence. I came to LA not really close to anyone in the program, and not knowing anyone in LA, so I had to do a lot on my own. Building your independence helps build your character and it's definitely worth it. I know a lot of us think that living at college alone makes us independent, and it does, but there's nothing like ..."
A student Emerson College
"I love traveling, and this program made me realize that I'd like it to be a large part of my life. This program was so worth it. I think I'd like to do another program, perhaps with more immersion and language aspects, though. "
Jacqueline P Emerson College
"I learned how to be on my own, how to be so far from my family, and what "home" really means. Though it was difficult to be away from home, it made the experience all the more rewarding in the end."

"My internship was amazing and I learned a lot, but the Washington Center programming was not very interesting and/or helpful for my future career goals."
A student Emerson College
"I learned that there is more than one way for people to live and those different lifestyles are what make travel so interesting and exciting. For every country I traveled to I learned of two more that I wanted to visit!"

A student Emerson College
