Important Dates and Deadlines
Coming soon...
"Absolutely. I have been back to Ireland two times since this trip. I went back to visit friends I made along the way. I also wanted to understand Northern Ireland, so I made a trip out to Belfast. You're only there for a short while, so soak up everything you can. Go experience the people, music, the history. I encourage you..."
Jenna L Emerson College
"Too much to list. I can probably never afford to go back to Europe and do it all over again so it was truly a trip of a lifetime. Every single day spent away from Well was a challenge and I was able to share it with my best friend (while making new friends that I'll keep forever). My advice: however you do it, go to Europe an..."
Marisa G Emerson College
"Changed my life a lot, for the better. Got braver. Did things I never did before, both in travel and later in social situations as I started warming up to my peers. The experience is a good one for shy people, I think."
Noah B Emerson College
"Great working and social environment."
Dan H Emerson College
"Definitely. It has helped me to relate better to people, be aware of how I am interaction with people of different cultures, and really appreciate my life in the States. If I could do it over, I think I'd stay in a different country, but I would never take this trip back; it was such a good learning experience."
Karen H Emerson College
"It was absolutely worthwhile. I feel as though I was removed from my "American bubble" and feel more a part of the world as a whole now. I've learned how other people live their lives and what they believe in, and that there is no one way to do something right, and that is probably the most valuable lesson I've learned so far ..."

jenna_lashley Emerson College
"The classes were ridiculous, with very little academic or thought inducing satisfaction, but the internship was the main aspect of the experience anyway, so it was good overall."
Daniel I Emerson College
"Of course. It was amazing. I got to live elsewhere, where it's warm and skateboard friendly, I had a kick-ass paid internship, which was basically like having a full time job, loved my coworkers, spend quality time with my girlfriend, got other jobs on set, got a job offer from my internship site, and will probably move back in ..."
Lowell M Emerson College
"It wasn't abroad, but L.A. is a different world from what we from the East Coast are used to. Now I love California, I just detest L.A."
Laura D Emerson College
"It was cool to see so many different cultures and countries and it made me want to travel to other continents too."

Alexander T Emerson College

Patrick F Emerson College

Zahir M Emerson College
"it was long and difficult at times because you learn things about yourself that you never thought you would be able to put into words, it is life altering."
