amazing Fall semester in the Rockies

This course was so much fun and absolutely the best thing I could have chosen to start my gap year. I made so many friends and the course really built my self-confidence for the rest of the year.

Everyone I met, both students and instructors, were so supportive and inspiring. I learned a huge number of both technical and interpersonal skills. I would recommend this course to absolutely anyone. I had never slept in a tent before or really done anything like it, but everyone was so supportive and encouraging, and as long as you are determined to work hard you can absolutely do it!

I have 1 million good things to say about NOLS - if you're wondering about what to do on your gap year this is my no1 suggestion!
