It\u2019s really interesting to see what kind of conversations and relationships can form when you\u2019re stuck with a random group of people for a month. Definitely an exhilarating experience though. Luckily, the majority of the students are from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.demonsabroad.org\/\">Wake Forest University<\/a>, so staying in touch isn\u2019t really a problem. And the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.globalvulcans.org\/\">University of Hawai\u2019i<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.grizzliesabroad.org\/\">University of Montana<\/a> kids always have <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/\">Facebook<\/a>\/email. So that works out nicely. We\u2019ve even established a \u201cgroup\u201d that we\u2019ve all added ourselves in.<\/p>\n<p>In any case, it was a pretty sad realization when we all recognized our trip was over; it was definitely quite the ride. AUIP has definitely done an amazing job in creating a unique and wonderful experience that I would recommend to anyone.<a href=\"http:\/\/auip.files.wordpress.com\/2011\/07\/sqld-group.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-3\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1067\" title=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/auip.files.wordpress.com\/2011\/07\/sqld-group.jpg?w=300\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Adrienne Wilson, 2011 South Queensland student blogger, writes: June 11-13 The last couple days of the trip were quite a blur.
