STUDENT TESTIMONIALS FOR TRAVEL FOR CREDIT I would recommend this trip because it gave me the opportunity to explore first-hand what I was learning and I was able to comprehend the material much better. I really valued the information I learned on this trip. I got to see so many amazing things while still learning a lot about them. It was super fun, enjoyable and you learn things without even realizing it. It was a very fun experience where you get to meet new people and explore the world. It was an amazing experience I would recommend to anyone because of the chance to receive first-hand experience for all of the things we learned in class.
