“The homestay experience was great and was crucial to the semester. It really helped me to understand customs, traditions, and daily life in Dakar. It was a great place to study to broaden my world-view, improve my language skills, and get to know the culture on a deeper level. I’m proud of my improvements in French and the start I have in Wolof. I’m also happy with the friends I made and of learning to adapt to Senegalese culture and how that has changed many of my views and attitudes.” —J.S., Villanova University
