No important dates configured."I'm really glad that I went abroad and that I went out of my way to integrate myself into Spanish life. "
A student Carleton College
"I'm glad I went because I would have regretted not doing so. I learned some interesting things, and spent a lot of time being bored in class. "
Jane T Carleton College
"Yes, I love Denmark, but the program was not very good. Overall, worthwhile"
Dylan C Carleton College
"This experience was "worthwhile" in terms of being able to immerse myself - as much as is possible given Western, Asian, upper middle class identities - in local cultures. I'm glad to know more about this part of the world, and to know more about myself. I've grown more resilient and less dependent on institutions to support me."
Sofia Chang Carleton College
"Yes. I now know that I don't want to focus on biology, but that I love environmental science as a genera. The independent research was the original draw, and the portion I loved best. The people were amazing, the program was challenging, far reaching, but poorly timed. "
Sarah B Carleton College
"Very worthwhile, but I had to work really hard independently to make it so. Other students might benefit from a more structured, high quality program."
Samantha P Carleton College
"yes."
charlotte a Carleton College
"I think I gained a lot of insight into who I really am by breaking down ideas of what I thought I was and was not, while reaffirming other ideas. I think later I will find my experience worthwhile, but it will take a lot of time - not simply the three weeks that have passed - since as of right now I am quite apathetic towards my..."
Morgan D Carleton College

Jenn B Carleton College
"The program was amazing. I am hoping to go back to one of the communities we visited for my comps research."
Alex K 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
"yes. "
Elena L Carleton College

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. "
Damir K Carleton College
"This experience was a great chance for me to experience life in a culture very different from my own. The academic content was interesting and raised my awareness about world issues in health care. It opened my eyes to different jobs and ways of life. "
