A Look Back
| * What do you know now that you wish you knew before going on this program? | This is a great program for students who are a bit nervous to travel. Everyone speaks English, and there are a few cultural similarities that makes it easy to adjust. There are still plenty of new experiences, though, to make it worthwhile! |
