I learned more than I've learned in my entire life until now, and I mean that both academically and in terms of life-skills. I learned what type of person I am, what I need to travel comfortably, and what I can do without. Julia D - Emerson College View Entire Review

I learned more about life, reality, culture, and myself than I ever have in one collective experience. Pablo C - Emerson College View Entire Review
Being abroad taught me how to budget, plan, organize my time, and to be myself. I will never be the same after seeing the world and diving in to so many new cultures.

"who you are" is a construct. the idea isn't real. the best way to find how who you are, is the do things that "who you are" wouldn't do. and see where that takes you. IS WAS INCREDIBLY WORTHWHILE David M - Emerson College View Entire Review

I learned a lot and feel a little more worldly and now I can say I've been to this place and that. Bryan R - Emerson College View Entire Review
I learned that there is more than one way for people to live and those different lifestyles are what make travel so interesting and exciting. For every country I traveled to I learned of two more that I wanted to visit! alicia.gervin.1 - Emerson College View Entire Review

I learned to be more independent and became a world traveler. It was definitely worthwhile. Caitlyn B - Emerson College View Entire Review
Absolutely worthwhile. I changed so much in the last three months, I saw how others go about their daily lives in 13 different countries. I was privileged enough to see more than a young adult will ever see at age 20. And to top it all off I got to come home to and take classes inside of a beautiful 14th century castle in The Ne...

About
A restored 14th-century medieval castle is home to Emerson's Semester Abroad Program in Well, the Netherlands. Moats and lush gardens contribute to the magic of this setting, while courses with a European focus provide the substance of serious academic pursuit. The program's special curriculum draws on the rich resources of its location to promote cross-cultural awareness and an understanding of worldwide communication. Kasteel Well participants enroll in courses that take advantage of the European experience. Many of the courses offered are included in the General Education Curriculum. Study is combined with extensive travel, exploring the cultural and historical offerings in several major cities of Europe. Kasteel (castle) Well is a national historical monument dating from the 14th century. It provides living and dining accommodations, classrooms, a student center and pub, offices and a performance area for students, faculty and staff. The surrounding grounds offer opportunities for various outdoor sports. Well, located in eastern Holland near the German border, is approximately two hours from Dusseldorf, Amsterdam and Brussels, and five hours from Paris by easily accessible mass transit. Applications are due approximately one year in advance of attendance.
