Program Reviews:
Spring 2014 Participant
The most rewarding part for me was the uniqueness of the program. One main focus they had was personal development. I was able to learn about myself and how I work best. Also, the academics were very different also. Instead of memorizing to past the test I retained the information I learned because of the structure of the class and test.
Summer 2022 Participant
I enjoyed exploring new cities and interacting with local community members at shops/ restaurants.
Gabriela Christine Hewett, Summer 2017 Participant
Traveling on the weekends was my favorite because that is when I was actually immersed in the cultures surrounding me. The professors at Cimba were great, but the curriculum and teachers are straight from the US so there was not many options to learn about the culture we were in.
