I was really nervous before coming on program about how i was going to make friends and what the people would be like and it was everything i’d hope for the people were amazing and my instructors made sure everything was perfect this trip truly changed me and i am so grateful i went no matter how scary it seemed at first

This program implements so many elements of self discovery and growth. I did the Australia mini semester and I have learned so much in such a short amount of time. Not only about the culture and activities here in Australia but myself as well. I faced many positives, a few challenges, and I am equally grateful for both! As I wouldn’t be who I am now without the hardship. I have come out of this program with a better sense of self and for that I am very grateful!

I loved every moment of this trip. From the activities, to the people and the places we saw. It’s such a packed 6 weeks but I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way. So many new things to experience and learn, I honestly couldn’t recommend it enough. If you want to really visit a new country and meet amazing people, this program is definitely for you.
