"Yes!!! A good combonation of comfort (supportive staff, living with Americans) and challenge (living with host families, going on trips, taking a language class). Very sensitive to cultural differences and encouraging of open-mindedness and understanding. Wonderful program."
Helen W Clark University
"Yes, absolutely. It made me so much more self-confident, I got first-hand exposure to the challenges of development and working in the developing world, and my internship exposed me to an issue, electronic waste, that I was not aware of but that I've now pursued back in the US and am writing my senior thesis on. Being in Ghana ..."
Graham K Clark University
"This experience is something I will remember forever, and I would never take it back for anything. It was so incredible, that I feel there are no words that I could place on the experience that would justify how wonderful it was. I feel so much more culturally aware and appreciative and the semester in Spain helped me determine ..."

Rachel B Clark University
"It was absolutely amazing"
Tamar G Clark University
"Completely worth while. Yes the academic part was hard but the experience was not about school, it was about learningn new and exciting things about a culture so foreign to our own. I gave the program a 5 because it worked hard to give everyone the time of their life and it achieved that with me!"

"Going to Tasmania was a huge learning experience for me. I really was able to come out of my shell and do so many things I never thought I would do.

Brook G Clark University
"I took one of the most challenging and rewarding classes at my time at the UEA and truly learned what I was capable of academically. Because studies are much more independent, I now feel more equipped in my abilities as a student and worker."
A student Clark University - Worcester
"My experience was absolutely worthwhile. I gained better understanding of people my age from different countries. It really doesn't matter where you come from because many of us are still going through the same things. I also feel a lot more comfortable traveling alone as well as in Europe. People are very friendly and if you're..."

"Words cannot describe what I learned abroad because it was an amazing experience. I am still thinking and processing everything I saw.
