Student Comments

"This is the only program in existence which places (you) directly into Buddhist practice with masters in a Buddhist community."
-Adam Lobel, Bard College

"This program is amazing. The setting, the teachers, and the courses fit together to form a program that is demanding but flexible, unified but staunchly individual, profound but practical, educational and enjoyable."
-Benjamin Wachs, The College of Wooster

"It is such a valuable experience on so many levels- academic, personal, spiritual, experiential. It allows you to combine these elements in a way that many other study abroad programs do not provide for."
-Claire Droste, Wellesley College

"I have developed more intellectually/spiritually over the course of this semester than any other three month period of my life. As challenging as it was, I've come out wiser."
-Timothy Martin, DePauw University

"The Buddhist Studies in India Program is one four-month long practice of letting go, living in the world, finding strength."
-Paul Choi, Duke University

"This program deromanticizes Buddhism, shows some clear questions about life, teaches us about India, gives us hope for life and change."
-Daniel Levi, Harvard Unviersity

"This program is the deepest immersion you can have in Buddhism without drowning."
-Rebecca Kushins, Bates College
