Exeter Stories
See all the latest on Exeter Today"Every day was filled with fun conversations on the bus, thoughtful discussions on what we learned, and deeper heart-to-hearts at night. I have always described Harkness classes as transformative and unique in terms of how we bond with our peers and our instructors throughout the term. This trip, however, took that standard to a completely different level."
