Program Reviews:
Winter Break 2024 Participant
One element that I found particularly fulfilling was the opportunity to independently explore the locations. This granted us the ability to immerse ourselves in a culture unfamiliar to us, experiencing it in our unique way and often this felt authentic. I believe this approach facilitated more genuine and unique encounters.

Winter Break 2026 Participant
This study abroad program truly pushes students out of their comfort zone, forcing them to step into a new culture. Learning about how things work on the opposite side of the world is very beneficial, especially with architecture. Students need to see how things are done outside of the United States, specifically.

Winter Break 2026 Participant
We did a lot of walking every day, sometimes upwards of 30,000 steps but it was all worth it to explore the architecture that can only be found in this part of the world.
