"I learned that most young people in the United States are very unaware of the world around us and the international and intranational events taking place.

"The program really helped me to narrow down the field that I want to pursue a career in through my core course. Although I loved my other classes this alone made the entire semester worthwhile."
A student Wofford College
"I learned much about myself and how I behave not just out of my comfort zone, but out of typical environment. I also learned that people of different regions and cultures aren't as different as some like to make out.

A student Wofford College
"I learned that there is no "right" way to live. Everyone lives differently; there are no two cultures exactly alike. A major problem today is that many peoples believe their ways of living are superior to others when every culture is formed and adapted to its surrounding conditions and environment. There are better and more effi..."
