Overall Experience
January 22, 2023 Once In A Lifetime Opportunity
I learned a lot about Bhutanese society and current issues facing the country from classes, my internship, and local peers. I also learned how to navigate a workplace through my internship. I gained a lot more confidence in myself, self-reliance, and skills related to independent travel. - Wellesley College View Entire Review
Past Review I Learned A Lot About Myself And Culture, And Found It Extremely Valuable.
It was very worthwhile. I learned about how to integrate and appreciate another culture while being out of my comfort zone. I will be able to take the skills I learned into my future. - Wheaton College, MA View Entire Review

January 03, 2023 Himalayan Exploration
The Wheaton in Bhutan program offers a wonderfully supportive and well integrated study aboard experience in one of the most unique and hard to get to countries in the world - Wellesley College View Entire Review
Past Review Challenging Yet Rewarding
It was very worthwhile in the life skills I learned and the things I learned about myself during the trip. I think the point of a study abroad is to be exposed to new ideas and ways of life and this trip was full of that. - Wheaton College, MA View Entire Review
Past Review I Was Scared But I Went Anyway And Was So Happy I Did.
I've learned more about myself and how I want to focus my degree back at Wheaton. Even in general, I've had experiences that have helped me figure out what I want in a career and what types of people I want to surround myself with. - Wheaton College, IL View Entire Review
