Review

IPSL Tanzania is the best option for students looking to truly immerse themselves in their host country. In addition to studying at a local school, students live with a host family and volunteer in a local non-profit. My days were spent teaching English in an orphanage, hanging out with my host siblings, and interacting with the other students. Although it terrified me at first that I would be the only student in the program (I was the first student to go to Arusha), it was honestly the best three months of my life. I made so many friends from Tanzania, Germany, the Netherlands, and beyond, and I returned to the United States with a whole new family. Students are also in a location to go on a safari; hike Mt. Kilimanjaro or Mt. Meru; explore nearby Moshi; and travel to Kenya, Zanzibar, and other neighboring areas. Definitely a must for anyone seeking adventure!
