Such an immersive experience!
March 19, 2021by: Julia Michaud - CanadaProgram: MEI Spring Term 4 in Greece and ItalyI’d never been so engaged with course material before going abroad with MEI. There’s something special about feeling physically connected to the things you are learning. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and I would recommend to anyone who is considering!
Best experience ever!
March 19, 2021by: Sasha Hasick - CanadaProgram: MEI International Academy Winter Term 2 South East AsiaThis trip was the best experience of my life. I have never felt so immersed and interested in what I was learning. Having the opportunity to be in the exact locations that the information I was learning about took place made it so engaging. The teaching is amazing and cant compare to being in a regular classroom. I felt challenged in my school work and my views on the world and was able to change so much in just three months. My favourite part of MEI is the people you meet. The friends I made on this trip are my family. It's been over two years since I have seen most of them but we still all keep in touch. Everyday is a new and incredible experience and I cannot recommend this trip enough. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think about it and miss it so much. 110% Recommend!!!
A trip that changed my life forever!
March 18, 2021by: siena davidian - CanadaProgram: MEI International Academy Winter Term 2 South East AsiaI could not recommend MEI enough. It’s such an incredible growth experience in all aspects of life. You meet AMAZING people, are guided by incredibly passionate teachers and are shown a different way to learn and view our world. I have to say that the biggest thing I gained from that experience was a totally new perspective and appreciation for education. The way the subjects are taught along with the inspirational teachers and destinations make you so excited to attend lessons. You learn to view the world and the people around you in a different way that lights a real and exciting spark of life long curiosity inside you. I didn’t think that feeling was even possible in high school. Still today I carry the lessons I learned. I’m now in university and notice myself using the thinking skills I gained from MEI in my classes. I also still talk to and meet up with the friends I made there who are some of my best friends. I’ll never forget that life changing year!
