Rebecca G Carleton College
"I have become better at going with the flow, I'm now more outgoing, and learning how to live in another culture has made me realize many things about my own (that I have one, for example). After being in Ecuador and seeing social workers at my internship, I have begun thinking seriously about social work, either international so..."
Laura G Carleton College
"This program affirmed my plans to go to graduate school in classics, and covered critical holes in my understanding of history and language. "
Alexandra S Carleton College

A student Carleton College
"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
"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.

Drew H 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.

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
"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..."

A student Carleton College
"Yes definitely, cultural and linguistic understanding as well as personal growth and maturity."
