Could not speak more highly about this program

I can honestly say this program changed my perspective on the world and myself. The homestays, Spanish Intensive, Block 1 Classes on Social Development in Latin America, The field program trip, and my research period each taught me so much. I had the best time of my life and the amazing staff at ICADs played a huge role in that. That being said, this program (specifically the field program) is not for everyone. Before choosing ICADS, really ask yourself if you can handle the inevitable discomforts that come with a study abroad program like this (language barriers, culture shock, bugs, humidity, etc) and if you can do so with grace and openness. I would highly recommend ICADs to any outdoorsy person looking for cultural immersion, academic rigor, and the formation of beautiful connections while studying abroad.
