Student Testimonials

Read what students are saying about their TLO expereinces!

"This being my first international experience, I can think of no other trip that would have the same advantages! Not only did I get to experience a totally new culture, but I also had the opportunity to work within my field of study and do some first-hand research!"

"It has reinforced my interest to study or work in another country. I thought it challenged and tested me as a person mentally, physically and emotionally. I think the trip inspired a new confidence in myself. Lastly, I think it made me more understanding and compassionate of foreign cultures."

"Working and "living" in close proximity (onboard a house boat) with a group of 10 students was an interesting and beneficial experience for a university student to have had. I enjoyed being part of a team. Because this project was multidisciplinary, I was able to gain insight into how students from other disciplines engage in learning. I feel that these two factors combined were useful to me as I prepare for a university teaching career."

"It was transformational on many levels...changing the learning environment, changing the methods of learning, changing our perceptions, changing our future decisions."
