I have learnt a lot about Indian culture, both through traveling and the events organized by our program. A student - Brandeis University View Entire Review

No matter what program you choose, India will reach into you and leave its mark. My experience taught me so much about Indian culture, history, and society, as well as the qualities of empathy and open-mindedness.

I love India. I want to go back for my honeymoon one day. I would even consider marrying an Indian man. Jordan W - Wellesley College View Entire Review
