An amazing experience. Past Review
By A student (International/Global Studies., American University) - abroad from 08/23/2012 to 12/13/2013 with
CET Prague
I learned so much about the region; but also a deeper understanding of the people and culture. Totally worthwhile, would do it again.

The Academic or LinguistYou went abroad with specific academic goals in mind; the program credentials and rigor of your coursework abroad were very important to you. You had a great time abroad, but never lost sight of your studies and (if applicable) were diligent with your foreign language study. Good for you! |
