(This program is designed to allow students the freedom to choose their travel destinations, and whether or not they wish to travel independently or as part of a group. We know that many students have already done some travelling previously. For that reason, the program price does not include an excursion package, but the program director is available to help students make their decisions regarding travel. We can also arrange our own group trips.)
