"One of the most moving experiences of my young adulthood. Having the opportunity to come to Makhanda and be on such sacred land, interact with the students, and experience life like this... I will never be same."
Kelsey May Syracuse University
"I gained a lot of perspective about my own nation and community. "
Kathleen Syracuse University
"This program allows you to be fully immersed with the culture and environment you stay. There was a great balance of classroom work and exploration. Learning the language was a big plus, the community is pleased to hear and speak it. I have gained relationships that will last a lifetime and that is what makes this experience wor..."
A student Syracuse University
"I learned so much about the history of South Africa, and how it has deeply impacted the current state of many infrastructures and society. The things we learned were immediately tied to direct experiences we were able to have, making it that much more meaningful and impactful on my learning. I loved that both local citizens as w..."
Katie Syracuse University
"This experience in South Africa was one of the highlights of my time as an undergraduate student! It was a perfect combination of academic learning, gaining cultural knowledge and awareness, as well as there being enough time for leisure in which we could explore our own interests (food, going to different sites, befriending loc..."
Marina Johnston Syracuse University
"I truly learned that the purpose of education is to liberate people, fully and respectfully. "
Ronald T. Syracuse University
"My experience abroad was definitely worthwhile. I made friendships that have already lasted five years, and will be sustained for many more. I had access to lecturers and students at Rhodes University, which helped push my personal research forward. As a testament to my experience, I paid for my own trip to go back to Makhanda a..."
Nicole O. Syracuse University

A student Syracuse University
"This program was definitely worthwhile and it was an amazing opportunity to get to be back in Lebanon for 6 months. "
Lara A Syracuse University
"Traveling alone, not knowing anyone prior to the trip was probably one of the riskiest decisions I have ever made. Taking that step outside of my comfort zone was probably the best decision of my life, and the greatest overall experience as a whole. I made so many new friends through TEAN and I am so grateful I made the decision..."
Elizabeth W Syracuse University
"I can honestly say it was the most remarkable and unforgettable four months of my life. The opportunity to live in a foreign country and travel is not something everyone has the opportunity to do. The experience opened my eyes to a world around me that I did not know existed. Living in Australia made me grow as a person and prov..."
Allie W Syracuse University
"I learned to live in a new environment that was completely different from everything that I was comfortable with and knew. It was definitely worth it!"
nessa.lam.1 Syracuse University
"Such an amazing experience. I want to go back!!"
Ron S Syracuse University
"I saw all the sites and learned all the history exactly like I wanted but I also found something I didn't know I was looking for, lifelong friends. The UINDY Athens campus is a school for international students, many students are the children of diplomats, and there are few who were born in Greece. When I was there the Odyssey p..."
Julie D Syracuse University
"I learned more about my own capacity for learning and self-reliance. I gained a lot of culinary knowledge. Also, my level of taste and style was elevated significantly."
peterboskey Syracuse University
"The program really didn't change anything and I really didn't gain anything from the education. I felt like I never left America. American students. American university. I did appreciate most of the staff and the opportunities they provided, but my coursework provided nothing new or interesting. I feel like I wasted money."
Mark E Syracuse University
"I was able to breathe, take a step back and look at my college decisions. I learned through different aspects of the culture, more about my self, my goals, and my own culture. This challenges me to think about ways that I can make an impact in the world, as an educated citizen. "
Victoria S Syracuse University
"It was certainly a worthwhile experience. The internship program (module C) is very good as well, a true resume builder. Visiting Japan and Sri lanka were great experience and certainly something I will remember for the rest of my life. I also made great friends here as well. The administration is not very helpful though. "
Devin R Syracuse University
"definitely yes, my major reasons to study abroad were to improve my Spanish, learn more about my Spanish roots, reconnect with myself, improve my GPA, and i know i accomplished it all"
jagome01@syr.edu 2 Syracuse University
"I traveled so much, which was great because not only did I learn a lot about french culture, but more than 4 other cultures as well. It opened my eyes to a lot of new things in the world, and I now know that the 'american way isn't the only way'. I am glad for coming abroad, because I have changed and come to realization of what..."
