Important Dates and Deadlines
No important dates configured."I greatly improved my Spanish and learned about the Mexican/Yucatecan culture. I also had a lot of time to look back at how I was living my life and make decisions on if I was going in the direction that I truly wanted, as opposed to what I thought I wanted based on what society convinced me I wanted. "
Jeremy Linch Portland State University
"I learnt a lot. It was totally worth it. My parents are very happy that I went, they say I have grown up a lot"
Terry Watson Portland State University
"I did a lot of how to be a person learning. Not as much art learning, which is what I came for. The program turned out to not be for me. I'd go abroad again if I could go back, but I'd go elsewhere."
A student Portland State University
