Great experience!

I learned a lot about climate change (Dan, the professor for all the classes, is great). I came in with almost no knowledge of environmental science (I'm a physics major) but was still able to keep up in the classes. We didn't get much busywork, so there wasn't much stress and a lot of time to go sight-seeing. They also took us to do some big sight-seeing things (we saw a lot of waterfalls, we hiked on a glacier, we went to the Blue Lagoon, etc.), which was really cool.

We mostly stayed in hostels, where there were 5-8 people per room, but we only shared a room with other people from the program. In the hostels, we got breakfast, which was nice, and were given a food stipend for lunch and dinner. The food stipend was very generous, as long as you cooked your own food and didn't eat out very much.

We had one 3-week homestay, which I really enjoyed. I loved my host family and have stayed in touch with them. One person in our group had trouble with their host family and was moved immediately.
