Overall Experience
I learned a lot about what it is like to live in a country outside of the US, and especially about the secondary education system (even though AUC is structured to be American). I got to see and experience so many new things, and it was especially nice to take a break from Wellesley and have an easier semester. - Wellesley College View Entire Review

I learned a lot in the classroom, and enjoyed my classes a lot. The cultural experience was the best part, and the thing I learned and grew the most from.
