STUDENT VOICES
"I would recommend this program to a student who is serious about learning about Latin American politics, history, social movements, and culture. Also, a good student for this program should be willing to put his/her all into the program, in wanting to really master their Spanish, in experiencing a new culture, and giving back to the community through Service Learning."
