Best Program Ever

I loved my time in Bali with StudyInBali, I wished I could have signed up for the 3 month program instead! The course content was insightful and I learned some career advancing skills for sure. I do wish there was an option to share a room with a fellow student because all our rooms had 2 single beds but only one of us in each of them. I think that would make it more affordable for everyone as well. Otherwise Bali is an incredible island with lots to do after classes, I can’t wait visit again!

I am forever changed after visiting Bali for the Study in Bali: Tropical Architecture program. This program was fully immersive! We spent half of our time in the classroom learning from vetted professionals who have real life experience and the other half on amazing excursions and in workshops. The staff was extremely polite and kind. My classmates were from 16 different countries and are now life long friends! We learned so much about Balinese architecture and South East Asian architecture and culture overall. Bali is such a safe place, the people are so kind, food is great and the weather is so beautiful! This was truly an incredible experience! If I could do it all over again, I would!
