Khon Kaen, Thailand

The experience in Khon Kaen is well worth the experience. My peers below left some comments covering topics of academics, food, culture, language, religion, etc, and I could not agree more. The program was academically challenging specifically when conducting research and writing our final paper. We spent time learning outside the class and were in the field attending meetings and interviewing professionals at clinics and hospitals. We also went to Laos to interview professionals about issues related to AIDS/HIV, hypertension, and diabetes.

In our free time, we traveled all around Thailand and Southeast Asia. I stayed in Khon Kaen for a month after the program ended and taught English at a local school for students with disabilities, then volunteered for six weeks in Malaysia through workaway.com. I traveled to 8 new countries during and after the program.
