What are students saying about the Dialogue of Civilizations?

"This academic experience was unlike any other. It's not study abroad. It's not a vacation. It truly is a unique opportunity to explore another culture, another way of life with Northeastern students and professors in tow. The professors that went with me were so knowledgeable and their guidance and insight were invaluable..." -Erica Taylor
