Jenn B 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 would have never been able to learn the things that I did about Rwanda had I not been studying in the country.

Morgan D 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
"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 love Denmark, but the program was not very good. Overall, worthwhile"

Jane T Carleton College
"I'm really glad that I went abroad and that I went out of my way to integrate myself into Spanish life. "
