I thoroughly enjoyed my study abroad experience using this program. There were activities planned for us relating to our major as well as extracurriculars. This was an amazing opportunity to enhance my cultural knowledge and apply what I had learned from my college classes. I would highly recommend this to other students!

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.
