Program Reviews:
Summer - Two Months 2012 Participant
If you don't understand something - language, culture, how to eat a certain type of food, anything! - do not be afraid to ask! You will adjust and progress much fast if you ask questions, and people usually love to answer.

Ashley Chauntel Peaches, Summer - One Month 2012 Participant
You really have to be proactive about finding out about your host family before leaving and learning about what opportunities are available to you while you are there. Contact Isa about volunteering or anything. She is more than willing to help.

Emma Rose Ramirez, Summer - Two Months 2016 Participant
My favorite part about this program was the people I was able to meet, the staff and everyone at the college were so incredibly welcoming.
