Semester at Sea was without a doubt the most significant experience of my college career.

The experience of a lifetime.

There is honestly nothing like Semester at Sea, it changed my outlook on life and allowed me to make a positive impact on the world. I would tell anyone to do Semester at Sea over any other program around the world. DO IT! You will not regret it.

Love SAS, but bad administration

I loved my trip around the world but I was not happy with my class experiences onboard. Mainly due to the fact that one of the professors I signed up for had gotten very ill and could not make the voyage, this would have been understandable if they informed me before I left. But once I boarded the ship, the rearranged my schedule and I was unable to apply the credits to my major.
