ECU COUNSELING PROGRAM
TEP was a vital resource in making our study abroad experience a success. The cultural immersion experiences were by far the most meaningful and impacting part of the trip. I want to give a special thanks to David Hernandez for being a wealth of knowledge, a excellent resource, and a huge help to our group. He was phenomenal!

BELIZE STAY
I truly enjoyed my time here in Belize. I’ve learned about my self and the culture. I had lots of fun in Hopkins staying by the water, meeting the families, and staying with my host family. If I could choose I would have spent more time with the host families. I am thankful for the experience and the relationships I have built.
