Winter Break 2025 Participant
I think future students should know that it can be exhausting, but it's totally worth it and if you push through, you won't regret it. There were a few instances I did not feel up to my usual standards, but I pushed through anyway and I am so glad I did. I would've missed some experiences to learn and soak in the environment, but also to connect with others on the trip.

Winter Break 2023 Participant
I liked how well informed I felt when I came home. There are things that I never would have guessed I would have learned, and it really set me up to feel more involved in world politics!

Winter Break 2025 Participant
Perhaps most importantly, I learned how to figure things out myself. This was my first time traveling to Europe, and my first time traveling at all without my family or a very structured group of friends or people I already knew, so this program really taught me a lot of life skills when it comes to traveling. For example, my suitcase was left behind in the Kansas City airport, so I not only learned that I should have packed more clothes in my carry-on backpack, but also how to problem solve, contact airlines, and ask for help (plus how important travel insurance is!). In Europe, I had to learn how to use public transportation, and I had to learn how to get along with other students I barely knew. But everything worked out for the better, and I absolutely came out of the program with more friends and incredible experiences than I went into it with!
