"Obviously I'm left with wonderful memories and great photographs. But AHA has given me something much more special than that: not just an intense love for Italy and everything that it encompasses, but also a genuine yearning for both knowledge and new experiences in general. I find myself utterly enthusiastic about the rest of my gap year, what university has to offer and everything beyond."
Mary-Jane Wiltshire, Autumn 2005
