"Cape Town provided me with the time and space to reflect on what I enjoy and wanted to do in college. Through furthering my academic studies and exploring a new place and culture, I learned so much about myself while having the time of my life and meeting new friends. While not always easy, I would not trade my experience abroad in Cape Town for anything and highly recommend anyone consider going!" Sara Barrett '21

"It may sound cliche to say this, but studying abroad in South Africa has been the best decision of my life so far. I learned so much about myself and how the world works in ways that wouldn't be possible anywhere else on the planet. While there, I went on many adventures and learned things that I never envisioned for myself, in fact, I never ran out of things to see, do and learn. It was an amazing opportunity where I was not only able to step out of my comfort zone by immersing in most aspects of the different cultures, but I also met incredible locals who are still part of my life months later." Celina Marte '21
