I spent an amazing 3 weeks meeting great people from all over the world and enjoying my summer to its fullest. The program is really fun, exciting, and a great opportunity to learn new things and make new friends.

It was really interesting to meet people from so many different places and it helped me develop a greater perspective on the world. I also learned a lot of college skills, like time management, doing laundry, and punctuality.
