an awesome semester

Program: Seamester: Transpacific, Caribbean to Tahiti - 90 Days

9

This was the most amazing 3 months of my life. I learned so much about myself. The boat is amazing. The staff are so cool. you become so independent, but you also get really good at working as a team. Parts of this program can be really tough, but you feel so much stronger for getting through it with your friends. I would do it again in a second.

A Life Changing Experience

No regrets at all. SeaMester made me a better person and its the best program for young people who want a an amazing and lifechanging experiance. I did the TransAtlantic 90 day. Academics: Tough but very rewarding academics. Living Situation: You're living on a boat which you work to keep clean. People shouldn't expect elegance, but the berths are very very comfortable (imagine summer camp)

I would do it over and over again!

I can't say enough about my experience with Sea|mester I was a part of the 40-day summer in the Caribbean program on S/Y Ocean Star in the Summer of 2010. I had an absolutely incredible experience. I was with 11 students and four crew members. Our crew members were top notch there was not a time where I felt uncomfortable or unsafe. I had quite the fear of scuba diving and our dive master Casey really took his time and helped me ease into diving. It has now become a live long hobby for me. The cultural experience that I had while I was there was unmatched we got to see and do things that only locals do! If I had the time in my schedule I would have done the 80-day program!!

I applied for an international program because of my love for adventure. My family and I have always loved traveling and finding new places. I love being immersed in different cultures and trying to learn local languages and customs. I feel like experiencing and exploring different cultures plays a crucial role in how you view society and the world.

As soon as I got to college I knew I wanted to study abroad. I had friends who shared their experiences with me and I began planning my experience pretty early. I wanted to expand my horizons and learn about the world through first hand experiences. I did a lot of online research and was trying to decide between programs in Italy and Spain. I had traveled to Germany as a high school student and I knew that I wanted to explore Europe further.
