Arcos Learning Abroad in Lima, Peru

I loved Lima and this program was well-rounded. I think it was coordinated to allow us the opportunity to immerse ourselves in the culture. I appreciated that aspect very much. I will say that because this is a group study abroad, it is difficult to find time to do solo exploring. As someone who is naturally more introverted, I would have also loved to have more time to explore on my own. Nonetheless, I had a great time and I hope to see this program evolve to meet the needs of future groups.

I was nervous for my first time abroad. I didn't know what to expect, yet my experience still exceeded my expectations. I felt supported, safe, and informed every step of the way. My program set me up for academic, personal, and cultural exploration. From the classroom to excursions, from the food to the people, I learned and experienced so much during my time abroad.

I have always had Peru on my bucket list so when I found out I could do a study abroad there, there was not a question about it. I was nervous during the preparation but the Arcos team ended up providing us with all that we needed. This trip was amazing. We felt safe the entire time, we explored so much and learned so much history. Cesar and Rodrigo were always there for us not only if we needed something, but also to give tips, recommendations, or more history or knowledge on another topic. I am so grateful for this experience and am ready to return to Peru!
