Travel and Study in Greece! Past Review

By Megan T (History, Georgia Southern University) for

American College of Thessaloniki (ACT): Thessaloniki - Direct Enrollment & Exchange

What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?

Greece was amazing! My only complaint would be that some of the coursework was not directly relevant to Greece, its culture, and/or its people. I feel the program would benefit from the inclusion of more outings based in Thessaloniki that would supplement and enhance lecture material.
