Destination

Delhi

A layered capital where Mughal architecture, colonial planning, and ultramodern India sit on the same block — a city most study-abroad itineraries pass through in a single day on the way somewhere else. This program stays long enough to go past the monuments.

Handled Honestly

What the program doesn't smooth over

Delhi holds extreme wealth and extreme poverty in immediate physical proximity — sometimes across the width of a single street. The program engages that honestly rather than routing around it, because understanding modern India requires seeing both.
