"My cultural awareness of native North Americans was certainly improved. If I succeed in my plan to become an environmental historian and teacher, I will remember the tremendous value of getting out of the classroom to take a look at what I've been reading about, and attempt to arrange experiences like this for my own students."

Julianne N Pennsylvania State University - Altoona
"I selected NO to doing the program again but that is only because it makes more sense and would be cheaper for me to not do it through Penn State. Overall though, the program was an unforgettable experience and I have no regrets. I would suggested to PSU that they try to offer more scholarships and/or attempt to lower the cost. ..."

"It was very important to me. It is one thing to study about an event and place in a history class and another to actually stand where it happened. My understanding of Austrian history is far greater now. "

Lia P Pennsylvania State University - Altoona
"Yes, it allowed me to see and experience Paris first hand and to observe the culture and way of life. Even if it was such a short trip, it was still amazing to simply go and to see that it does exist, and that people are living there and speaking French every day of their lives rather than just practicing it in a classroom."
Kaitlin V Pennsylvania State University - Altoona
