I am more prepared to take on challenges in my life
by: Dylan RatnerProgram: Thailand College Summer Program | Pacific Discovery“If you could sum up your experience in 3 sentences, what would you write?” I am more prepared to take on challenges in my life. I will always remember my time in Thailand and how much I have grown because of it. I am grateful for Pacific Discovery’s program for giving me the opportunity to learn through experience.
Would choose it again
by: Natalie Doppelt - United StatesProgram: Thailand College Summer Program | Pacific DiscoveryPD was the best decision I could have made in my gap summer. Every day was filled with a new experience and cultural immersion was at the utmost importance. The guides were SUPERB (Ashley/Henry/Art certainly deserve the biggest of props for all of their hard work) and I would choose it again in a heart beat.
An experience to always remember
