TESTIMONIALS OF STUDENTS FROM EDITH COWAN UNIVERSITY, AUSTRALIA:

Alise Bender
"The Study in India Exposure Program has been an amazing experience that has exceeded all of my expectations regarding student interaction and immersion into the Indian culture and way of life. The academic aspects of the study exposure tour were very diverse as a lot of topics were covered, some of which were outside of the realm of psychology. The cultural activities organized by the PDEU were all extraordinary, and provided an excellent opportunity to grasp the depth of India's history and the influence it's had on today's society. The Indian people's belief and trust in their own psyche is so deep and beyond anything I have witnessed in the Australian population."

Zack Farell
"As for the experience, I wish I could express an eloquent and all encompassing piece of text expressing my gratitude to the PDEU students and faculty members for being such wonderful hosts and demonstrating the tenants of Indian hospitality that we have been taught and through them experienced.
