Cultural Community and Lifelong Memories

If you are looking to make memories, meet people that are interesting and amazing, have some of the best instructors and professors out there, this program is for you. With a strong immersion into local culture in the Iringa Region, you will feel as if you have found a second home in Tanzania. Phenomenal staffing that care about you as a student and as a person, be ready to make memories that will last a lifetime. I'll be honest, it was kind of scary at first to come to Tanzania with very limited knowledge of Swahili and almost not knowing anybody else in my class or at the school. But at the end of the day, I found myself having to be dragged back onto the plane to come home. You will get a strong academic program from the classes that work both in the classroom as well as have you out in the community. The classes are extraordinarily interesting, and the Research Seminar was a strong way to prepare me for capstone and term papers, as well as taught me how to properly and ethically deal with human research. If you are concerned about safety, homesickness, or any health concerns, don't worry. Every member of the program, even other students, are there to help support you and support each other along the way. Keep this program strong, because there are very little study abroad programs like this! If you go, I look forward to hearing about your phenomenal experiences. Safari Njema!!
