"Some of the most important things gained from this trip were not simply those that can be taught in the classroom... but knowing that I had made many new friendships, and that I had done something important for someone else."

During the past two years over 30 Ithaca College students and as many Antiguans have taken courses offered in Antigua. Many students have said it was one of the most meaningful learning experiences of their life. The beauty of Antigua's beaches and mountains, rain forest, and, above all, its people make it an ideal place to learn about a different geographic and cultural environment while meeting wonderful people. Study in Antigua is an opportunity for you to enrich your education by being a part of this vital program of international service.
