Testimonials

“The program met and went beyond most of my expectations! The components that most met my expectations and exceeded them were the language courses, field trips, tutoring, host family experience and post-program event in Jakarta. The only part that didn’t quite meet expectations was the volunteer opportunity.”

– Mia Cordes, 2019 Summer Studies Participant

“Thank you for this opportunity — this experience has allowed me to expand intellectually, emotionally, and spiritually.”

– Lai Wo, 2019 Summer Studies Participant

“The program was very good as displaying another culture, it was for the most part engaging and interesting. My favorite part was the relationships that I have made with my tutor and host family. I’m going to really miss them.”

– Ashley Morrow, 2019 Summer Studies Participant
