The Cambodia program is a great experience. While only six weeks, you get to see quite a bit of the country. The program also allows plenty of time to explore on your own. The academics can be a little daunting, but provide a great context for your experience and are well worth the effort.

I highly recommend this program. One of the highlights was learning in-depth about the temples of Angkor-a fascinating place-and then spending three days visiting the temples and seeing in front of us exactly what we had learned about. The program staff were thoroughly helpful and attentive, the academics were solid and there was free time to tour the city on our own and do our own exploring.

I recently completed this study abroad program and have nothing negative to say. I was able to learn the culture, meet and interact with locals, explore the bustling cities of Phnom Phen and Siem Reap, visit the countryside, live in a Cambodian home for ten days, and even visit the beach. I felt as though I have gained and enormous amount from the program and would love to come back to Cambodia in the foreseeable future.
