What students have said about previous trips:

Here is what students from the 2010 trip had to say:

"India is Incredible, and the way the learning abroad was organized allowed us to see the whole spectrum. From the Presidential Palace and Parliament, to the slums of Dharavi. From the Qutb Minar, built in the late twelfth to early thirteenth century to the thoroughly modern design of the Infosys Building." - Audrey Buth

"This is a Tier 1 program for a Tier 1 University" - Andrew Cobos

"We were able to visit multiple cities throughout India, and earned course credit while doing so. We stayed in luxurious hotels and met with top notch companies such as Tata Motors, Reliance, Godrej, Advinus Therapeutics, Infosys, Google, and Microsoft just to name a few. We also visited government entities such as Indian Parliament, Presidential Palace, and the Federal Reserve Bank of India. In one simple word this trip was amazing!" - Amanda Calles

"If I had the opportunity to do it again, I would not hesitate. India is very exciting and culturally rich, and definitely an experience I will never forget." Andrew Keller

"The India trip was a wonderful and fascinating experience. Through the trip I expanded my horizons, and got to learn about India's thriving economy from many of it's leaders." - Ben Rose

"There are few academic courses that claim to be truly transformative. – the India trip is transformative." - Chris Chow

"The India trip was an experience of a life time. I was skeptical when I first applied for the program because I knew NOTHING about India, but it turned out to be the best decision of my life." - Java Nguyen

More testimonials:

"Summer 2004 proved to be a most exciting adventure. Through scholarships and financial aid, I was able to initiate my desires to research globalization/development issues in Asia. Additionally, I gained credit towards my degree, made incredible business contacts and witnessed the wealth of cultural nuances seen throughout India. From visiting Ernst & Young offices in Mumbai to bartering for goods in the streets, my Indian experience presented an eclectic mix of business, culture, and landscape. In fact, the wealth of opportunities offered has ensured my intentions of returning for the Summer 2006 trip." Paul Watson
