- "I would choose traveling over intersession. It was was an amazing experience because
instead of being on my own (like for a semester program) I was with a fun group &
we always had activities planned." - Winter Participant
- "Just do it. Have fun. Make memories. Put time into the coursework. Have respect for
the local culture and make a genuine attempt to immerse yourself in the culture."

- "I found I was better able to retain information because we were learning in a hands
on environment (castles, museums, etc.) instead of exclusively in a classroom." -
