I have come out of this program with a better sense of self

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

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.
