Diana S University of Hawaii - Manoa
"I definitely recommend students studying abroad, especially those who have lived in Hawai'i for a while. I have noticed that those of us in Hawai'i, live in our own culture and lifestyle, that it was hard at first to adjust to the realities of Seoul, S. Korea.

Stephen W University of Hawaii - Manoa
"Overall, I wanted to learn something about myself, but afterward, I learned that I already do. I know who I am, but I don't know what to do with me... I think my experience helped me realize that I need to find a goal that is less broad and try to work towards."
RLeanne M University of Hawaii - Manoa
"Even before this program I already had a lot of experience studying about and living in Japan. So, this experience did little to change my cultural awareness or change my academic interests.
