The course was pretty interesting and useful, just a bit "basic" some times (good to have the possibility to skip those parts) and Johns Hopkins' student-focused in some sections.
AB
Quite informative (and inspirational!) for those interested in general travel prep, as well as students with a desire for a career in global health.

This course has given the insight of most useful information about safety & precautions, preparations, handling unexpected situations while in a foreign nation. I am quite happy to recommend people of taking this course especially if you are planning for a long term or shifting to a new country.
I work in relocation and this course gave me a deeper understanding of how and what to explain to clients when moving to a new country. Thank you
Although I'm not from a health profession, I have decided on this course because I need more knowledge about travel preparation and the wellness and safety part of it all. I was very positively surprised by this course, it has exceeded my expectations. I wish the university in my home country was so good and rewarding.

Интересный курс. Я ожидал несколько большего в плане эпидемиологии и информации о болезнях в конкретных странах, но в целом информация интересная.
Правда, сертификат получать смысла нет, только пройти "для себя".

This course provided the instruction I was looking for.
Great course. Could learn and gain so much knowledge.
I recommend this course to every individual who is planning for an international travel. It helps to prepare and plan about the various aspects needed to be taken care of, for a safe and successful journey. I personally learnt a lot of new things to be considered while staying alone and while working in groups. Also the learnings about cultural impact of our journey were an eye opener for me to give me fresh perspective. I am thankful to the creators of the course for initiating the idea of such curriculum and appreciate the efforts taken.
As someone who has traveled and lived abroad extensively, I wasn't sure if this course would have much to offer, but I was wrong! Aside from the very clear emphasis on grad students (which I am not) the general course information was very useful and enlightening- although I would say the emphasis on the dangers of travel might actually turn away potential study-abroad or work-abroad persons.
This is a great course for those who are looking to travel abroad both for work or for pleasure. I work in public health and have often thought about what it would look like if I wanted to field work. I think anyone that travels should taken this course as it provides information on a common sense level, that most of us have, that was nice to brush up on.
