Comments:
"Colombia is a country with many natural beauties and many cities and small villages to explore. From the Caribbean coast to the Amazon to the Andes, the country is littered with beauty. The institution in Bogota is small and intimate but the academic level is not what us Canadians are accustom to. I found this exchange enabled me to greatly improve my language skills and learn more about the Latin and Colombia cultures. The biggest downside is the safety issue and the culture shock of living in South America. It really is indescribable, but life is just very different down there. This was one of the best experiences of my life and If I could do it again I would definitely pick Colombia."
