Program Reviews:
Summer 2023 Participant
Remember your why. Why are you there, why are you wanting this experience, and why are you doing it? If you remember your why and focus on your experience and what you can learn, anything negative that might occur will seem like nothing compared to the experience you can and will have.

Summer 2024 Participant
Prepare yourself for a completely different daily life than the United States. How you conduct yourself in public spaces makes you need to be more observant than we are in the U.S.

Summer 2023 Participant
The most rewarding part of this program is the lifelong friendships I made with other students on this trip. Over two weeks, many of us bonded and intend to stay connected for personal and professional purposes. It was truly valuable to have others who also experience the culture shock, or the feeling of embarrassment when you are not following cultural norms, and find a new life perspective. I also appreciated the quick tutorial of navigating the public transportation system and the autonomy to venture out and explore the different cities.
