Overall Experience
Past Review Amazing Cultural Experience And Environmental Sustainability Learning!!
I gained confidence and independence from this trip. I did so many things I never thought I would ever do and I am better for it. This trip was 100% worthwhile. - Drake University View Entire Review
Past Review Loved Costa Rica!
I learned a lot about development and sustainability from a non-US perspective. I traveled a lot and got to meet a diverse array of people. My Spanish definitely improved. I absolutely think it was worthwhile. - Tufts University View Entire Review
Past Review Amazing
I'm sorry, but I don't know who is going to see this. So for the reasons below, I had a worthwhile experience. I would recommend ICDS to anyone and would feel more comfortable talking to a prospective student in person. - Villanova University View Entire Review
Past Review It's An Experience That Requires The Individual To Be Engaged.
I gained a different perspective. - Villanova University View Entire Review
