Program Reviews:
Spring 2023 Participant
The LIFE program was very beneficial to me. I also loved the Add A Seat activity where I could talk and have dinner with a local family.

Spring 2025 Participant
A few things I learned on this program that could be helpful are to make sure you are financially stable going into your trip abroad, and create a budget for each week. Learn to adapt to new surroundings and be open-minded when trying new ideas.

Spring 2023 Participant
The most rewarding was getting challenged in the classroom but also managing all the travel.
