I love the fact, that we had an opportunity to explore. A student - Texas Lutheran University View Entire Review
I learned a lot about myself because I was able to be in a new place with people who had no preconceived notions about who I was. For that reason, I was able to try a lot of things that I normally wouldn't. It was absolutely worthwhile and, honestly, probably the best month of my life.
