Sarah T Carleton College
"The most important quality I gained in Denmark is open-mindedness. I learned to be more receptive to a foreign culture, as opposed to sticking to my comfort zone. "

Taylor W Carleton College
"I would say it was worthwhile, but not because of anything the program did for me. I could have gone to Sweden on my own and probably gotten more out of it."
Sarah S Carleton College
"Mostly, I just feel so lucky that I have seen the animals and plants and landscapes that I saw in Ecuador. I found poison dart frogs and cock-of-the-rocks. I watched an anaconda attack a cayman and a hammerhead swimming alone while I snorkeled above it. I wanted a break from the midwest landscapes and the intense academic set..."
Ellen D Carleton College
"Definitely!"
Devin D Carleton College
"It was definitely a good experience. Academically, I don't know that it was on par with my college in the states, but studying abroad is much more than just the classes and I feel that I benefited greatly from the experience of living in a different culture and different language."

"I gained a lot of research experience in my field (biology), and also started to learn perspectives on land use management. "
A student Carleton College
"There is so much that I learned and gained from this experience that isn't quantitative. I cannot tell you, however, just how worthwhile this trip was. My leaders were thoughtful and full of knowledge. They pushed us to better understand the natural world around us as well as the new culture that we were living in. I discovered ..."
Holly B Carleton College
"It was ABSOLUTELY worthwhile. I learned so much about conservation biology, it's practical application, working with local and traditional communities, field work, human's relationship with nature- the list goes on. I also learned tons about myself and what I want to do in the future with respect to those topics. Beyond all of t..."
Drew H Carleton College
"I learned more about who I am and how I see my career in conservation moving forward. I gained invaluable research experience and my instructors became mentors who I will look up to for a long time. "
A student Carleton College
"I learned what "real-world" conservation looks like and was able to get involved in this process. I was able to interact with local Namibians through conservation and also learned about the socio-political structure of conservation projects in rural Namibia. Additionally, I learned heaps from my peers, other American college stu..."
A student Carleton College
"I feel evermore a citizen of the world, gaining a perspective on internaitonal relations and economical bewailment."
Benjamin A Carleton College
"I learned so much about Conservation Biology. As someone who came in with almost no prior knowledge, I was a little nervous about falling behind but the leaders ensured I didn't. They were very encouraging and made all of the work reasonable and rigorous, while also enjoyable. I also made some deep and lasting friendships"
Mark Roth Carleton College
"On the program, I not only learned immense amounts about environmental research and conservation, but also about Mongolian perspectives towards land and other people. It was extremely inspiring and I've returned to the states with a perspective towards relationships that I had not previously understood."
April Reisenfeld Carleton College
"YES! Although I did speak English with the program people, I spent the vast majority of my time speaking Spanish with Argentines. My Spanish improved immensely and I learned to live like an Argentine. All very worth it for me!"
Peter S Carleton College
"I learned a lot about the conservation efforts of the Taku River Tlingit (in congruence with Round River). I gained a new perspective on conservation and the importance of protecting wild and untouched places."
