What have past students said about their experiences?
They could experience the realities of how theories & cultural values influence policies and in turn impact practices. They suggested that these educational hands on opportunities could not be obtainable in a traditional classroom setting, that personal growth was gained from going outside of one’s own culture & value system, and they could reevaluate original values and beliefs. They also commented that intense time spent with faculty and students from both countries and readings & assignments were great ways to synthesize the experience.
