Jamaica was one of the best decisions I ever made in my life. There is something about this program that made me grow in 10 days more than I had grown before with any single activity I have done. I grew on many different levels; be it professionally or personally, the opportunities for growth are endless. I was able to appreciate aspects of life that I would never have known if it was not for this program. The people, the culture, their daily lives, their outlook on life: it's just an incredibly enhancing experience!

I must say that experiencing Jamaica with the Honors College was an awesome experience. Professor Maurrasse was a great teacher that was able to instill knowledge in each of us, even though we were all from different backgrounds and majors. Having a professor that truly cared and people in Jamaica that welcomed us with open arms helped tremendously.
