Student Reflections 

“I feel that I have learned a lot about what it really means to be healthy. I now know how to evaluate my behaviors and modify them in a way that works better and helps me to be healthier. Before the course formally began, I thought that we would just learn about the day to day life of the Mediterranean people. We did learn about this, but we also learned so much more. This course went above and beyond my expectations. I was not expecting the amount of work assigned or the amount of time it would take to do all of this work.”
