I just got back from one on june 30. they got your name from either a random students list or a teacher or someone like that. i went to canada even though they sent that letter abt europe, so you could go to europe or some other trip theyre offering. hotels werent that good when i went, mostly dorms. some of my friends had bugs in their rooms. if you go 2 canada, be advised that you will b at a tipi camp 4 two days, and idk where the showers are. i had 2 use baby wipes 2 wash up in the porta potties. the teachers can be mean. but, i made a lot of friends and had a really great time all in all.

They're extremely safe. I've been on two trips with them and it's extremely professional, they have staff in every country waiting on an emergency line and a 1 leader for every 10 students. Each hotel is at least 3 stars. I suggest going for it if you can!

I just got the same letter! I've seen generally mixed comments about the program over the internet. Thousands of people get the same letter, whether it was by a teacher recommending us or just them randomly pulling names from schools, so there isn't necessarily anything special about us. It's also very expensive (on average $4000 to $6000) and I don't know if we have to go through some kind of test to officially get into the program, like writing a letter detailing why we feel we should go or something like that. However most people say they had a memorable experience worth the high cost, plus you can get up to 12 college credits in the program which is enough to be in the college full time. Money isn't an issue for me personally since I got a job this summer. Hotels are at least 3 stars, so there shouldn't be too many complaints about rooming or anything like that. Hope you can go!
