It is vital to understand that participating in Global Spring Panama is not a vacation.
It is an academic program. If the goal of the student is to enjoy themselves while learning, be engaged in the daily activities and culture, while being respectful of faculty, program leaders and fellow classmates, that is acceptable. If, however, students plan to not be engaged with the program, make poor decisions and expect a lot of free time, they are encouraged NOT to participate in Global Spring Panama. Students will be engaged in activities including business and cultural visits daily, with an average schedule of 8 am – 5 or 6 pm.
Some days will begin earlier and some days will end later. At the end of the day’s scheduled activities, students will have free time to eat, relax or possibly explore in a responsible manner. Students should be aware that while there is free time, it is not excessive. If students want or need more free time, they should instead pursue independent travels and NOT participate in Global Spring Panama.
Traveling with Global Spring Panama can be strenuous. This is the nature of academic programs abroad, in that you will likely have a long flight through multiple time zones and then maintain a rigorous schedule of activities for the duration of the program. Students should be prepared for long flights, early mornings and a full schedule of daily activities. Students are highly encouraged to get a good night’s sleep, eat well and hydrate after each day to be fully prepared for the coming day’s schedule.
Global Spring Panama can also be strenuous due to climate differences, cultural differences, time changes, different government regulations and being away from the comforts of home. Students are encouraged to embrace these new and exciting challenges to the best of their ability. Students are also encouraged to speak with a PLC faculty or staff leader if they are having difficulty adapting to these new circumstances.
