Claire D Knox College
"I learned that it’s important to appreciate the place where you are. Sometimes we don’t realize that maybe we won’t be back to the place we grew so much, so we have to live every moment as it were the last. I also learn that every culture has its own flavor, and even though some practices aren’t understood, we have to respect t..."

Karen E Lynch Knox College
"Well, obviously I learned a lot, more than I could ever write in a review. Morocco is definitely a unique place to live for four months as an American, but in all the good ways. A very different experience than those who studied in Europe for sure!"
A student Knox College
"I learned a lot about how to study coral reefs and conduct related research projects. This was a very worthwhile experience as having the opportunity to conduct an individual research project in marine ecology is a very rare opportunity. The experience can also help you to get future opportunities in the marine ecology field."

Jeanne F Knox College
"Though the trip was almost painfully short and limited in its scope of cultural immersion, I am still extremely thankful I went. It was worthwhile even for the small taste of Ghanaian culture and arts, but it definitely only skimmed the surface."
A student Knox College
"I wanted to experience music and dance as a unseparated entity. In modern times, Western choreographers have found movement for the sake of movement. Consequentially, dances often take place in complete silence or with periods of silence. I wanted to see and experience the opposite end of the spectrum where dance is hand in hand..."
