It
was truly an illuminating experience to explore the rich collection
of art and architecture scattered throughout Catalonia, Spain. Barcelonas's
most prized landmark, La Sagrada Familia, is an incomplete Catholic
temple constructed by Antoni Gaudi. The edifice is a display of
how Gaudi's imagination and devotion to Catholicism evolves into
an architectural marvel like no other in the world. |

I
hope that I will be able to visit Spain again, as I would like to
learn more about their culture. This trip to Spain has challenged
me more than my five years of Spanish classes from both my high
school and college. I would definitely recommend this class to anyone
who is open to new experiences, fun, people, amazing food, and an
interesting culture. |

 Rome
is a city full of history that has to be seen firsthand. It's
something that you can't get from a book or documentary. The experience
alone is worth a million words plus more. |

 The
Rome-Assisi trip, "Martyrs, Monks, and Mystics," was incredible!
While hearing the Pope's homily, studying Caravaggio's art, touring
underground churches and religious museums, and exploring the
classical architecture of Rome, I learned so much about Christian
faith, art, and history. This week-long trip was invaluable to
my education as a history major, and I had an amazing time in
Italy. Ciao! |

 I
will have so many priceless memories and experiences to take from
this trip to Rome. Traveling to Rome was one of the best decisions
I've ever made! |

| This is an opportunity that
should not
be missed. Go on the Study Abroad trips no matter what. |

| In Rome we enjoyed an
excellent, informative, well-organized
tour. We were able to see a lot with a leisurely feel. It was
thought provoking and created interest in learning more about
saints and history of the church. |

| I just wanted to thank you
for
the direction
you provided me when I was trying to setup my study abroad in
Jordan. It really helped and this fall I will be studying abroad
in Jordan. I just wanted to say "Thank You" again. I know I learned
a lot last year while in Rome. And I loved every minute. |

| This trip was fun as well as
educational.
To see ancient ruins and churches from the 3rd and 4th centuries
is breathtaking. I would encourage people to take this trip because
it is a rewarding experience and you get credit for a class in
only 3 weeks. |

| Cheapest way to visit another country in a
group.
Best way
to take a summer course~Eone that is required and keeps you track
for graduating on time. A different way of visiting a country
(monks, martyrs, and mystic view).

outside of a classroom. I
had tons of fun and enjoyed every minute that I spent in Rome.

| This trip helped me see a lot
of churches and learn
about them. Also, I got a chance to grow closer to people. It's
a good way to get credit in a short amount of time. |

| Rome and Assisi were
wonderful
places to visit. The
religious and historical sites brought me to a deeper understanding
of how others live. Our group from CBU was so much fun to be around
since everyone got along well. I was very impressed with the cooperation
displayed during our travels. The highlight of my experience was
attending a general audience with Pope Benedict XVI. I would definitely
recommend this trip to anyone, especially students seeing as how
it is the most enjoyable way to earn three credits. |
