"I learned about Korean language, food, etiquette, music, social life, and other aspects of the culture. Also, I gained exposure to the sights and sounds of Seoul and various tourist sites, all of which were made conveniently accessible via subway. Not only did I gain a network of Korean friends who can help me experience what Ko..."

I received lectures from many top-educators in their respective fields. Other than academically, I learned about many European cultures which were previously unbeknownst to me. This has drastically chan..."

"My experience was incredibly worthwhile. I learned how to make decisions for myself and how to navigate not only through new cities, but through uncertainty.

Luis Cataldo The University of Texas at Austin

"New perspectives on other civilizations. I had never been so exposed to Asian culture in that way. I traveled to many countries in Asia and their way of living is drastically different from how it's like in North America and Europe. People are pretty honest in general, have a sense of pride, aren't as hygienic or social as we ex..."

Olivia Griffin The University of Texas at Austin
"As stated above, I learned so many things that I never even knew I had to leearn about. I learned to view the world through a completely different lens than the traditional American perspectiv, I was able to break into the business sector in London (which I would argue is one of the hardest one's to get a foot in in the world), ..."
