it would've been more worthwhile if it lasted longer. three months was not a lot. the most valuable thing i gained from the program was the connections i made with professors. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I learned how to be a polite guest, how to do a wine tasting properly, jewelry making, bocce, and how difficult it is to live in a hillside town without a vehicle. A fiat or a vespa would’ve made a huge difference. Aubrey H - University of Hartford View Entire Review
