| Here is a sampling of what some of our students have said. We will be changing these regularly to give people a sense of what people say about our programs. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| This Global Colleges Program in Kenya was incredibly memorable and educational for me. Being a participant in the program gave me access to a whole range of experiences that I could not have had simply as a tourist, such as going to the AIDS orphanage, or the slum school in Nairobi. The five days spent in the Masai Mara were some of the most amazing ones of my life. The classes gave me a background in Kenya that helped me understand what I was seeing, so that when we went out on our excursions, my eyes were opened to things I never would have noticed on my own. I would love to be able to go back to Kenya anytime.

| I have been to several English programs and this was the best by far. Everyone was so helpful and friendly. The activities we did and places we went were amazing. It was also fun sharing a room with students from Mexico and Japan. - Eva, student from Norway |

| The Summer Program in Africa gave me a deep insight into the cultural, environmental and also political world of Kenya. Both theory in classes and practice through visiting the places discussed created a good balance that enabled each one of us to see the country from our own points of view. One of my personal highlights was when we did Community Service in an orphonage for HIV-infected children. It was a real shock when I first came there but it also made me be aware of how previliged we are to be healthy, to get a good education. When I now think of this camp all those colourful pictures arise in my mind and I feel that I really saw, experienced, learned and understood a lot about Kenya.

| Going to Kenya was the most amazing thing I have ever done. It made me think about my life and America and, well, a lot of things. My biggest goal in life ever since I can remember, was to make it over to Africa. Kenya felt like a second home just as I expected it to be, and I'm so grateful for the opportunity that I was given to be able to go.

| It was the best experience of my life, and I would do it again if I got the chance. You meet people, some of which you will stay in contact for the rest of your life after the trip is over.
