In our ever-shrinking world, cultures
seem to clash with frightening regularity and escalating intensity.
Bluffton students are challenged to appreciate the richness and
the challenges of cultures other than their own through a cross-cultural
service/learning experience.
My trip to Northern Ireland was a life
changing experience. The home-stay and courses helped me to gain
a better understanding of Irish culture, history and 'the Troubles'.
The 15 weeks I spent in Northern Ireland was the most educational
time of my college experience.
