Program Reviews:
Summer 2025 Participant
I learned a lot about independence and self-reliance. If you haven't traveled alone before, you'll learn a lot on how to do things on your own. Europe is not like America, but the teachers are very helpful since they have done the trip before. There are also plenty of online resources and recommendations for places to shop, explore, or just have a good time. As for the busier days, be prepared for heat and sun and bring a smile to every day, because you only get to see everything once. Apply for this program with someone you know, and if not, it's never too hard to make some new friends.

Summer 2025 Participant
I found the guided days to be the most rewarding. While they may drag on at times, talking to the guides individually reveals a lot about the things you want to know about the place you are in. This was especially helpful in writing the required research paper that is due after the program finishes.

Summer 2025 Participant
I learned that there are a lot of different ways to use architecture than just residential or commercial buildings.
