I learned so much about Central and Eastern Europe as well as Europe as a whole from this experience. The Jewish studies part was definitely a highlight. Emma S - Brandeis University View Entire Review
I learned a good amount about Jewish life in Central Europe and the lectures and meetings I attended during traveling seminar taught me things that I have yet to learn in a traditional classroom. Those experiences outside of the classroom are the ones I still talk about today. Cassandra G - Clark University - Worcester View Entire Review
I can't sum it up. I've learned about myself, people, independence, travel, the world, things that can't be taught conventionally in classrooms. A student - Clark University - Worcester View Entire Review
I got a wonderful experience interning in a web-based business in Prague. I also learned a lot about Central European history and Jewish history in Central Europe. It was extremely worthwhile. A student - Brandeis University View Entire Review
Personally, this experience gave me confidence in my ability to handle new and unfamiliar situations. It also showed me that living abroad is something I want to do again in the future, and hope to do soon! Academically, the program challenged me to think about Jewish history and lived experience in new ways. Overall I learn... Molly P - University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill View Entire Review
I gained valuable knowledge about the political, social, and cultural climate of Eastern Central Europe as well as a sort of global awareness of how cultures are different and similar including important problems in some parts of the world that may go by completely unnoticed in the US. A student - Brandeis University View Entire Review
I fell in love with the city, the culture, the experiences, the food and the people. If I could do it all over again, I definitely would. Danielle O - American University View Entire Review
Definitely worthwhile, the best way to see Europe starts in the middle of Europe Jake P - American University View Entire Review
I learned how to be on my own, explore new places, make new friends by myself, and get lost. It was worthwhile Sarah B - Brandeis University View Entire Review
New language, culture, sightseeing, YES it was totally worthwhile A student - Clark University - Worcester View Entire Review
I learned to put everything in perspective in life Brian D - Tulane University View Entire Review
Studying abroad has certainly made me more aware of cultural differences and similarities and gave me a deeper appreciation for European culture. Being away from home for so long has helped me realize my values, what is most important to me, and given me more confidence and self awareness. Ilana S - Brandeis University View Entire Review

Jewish Studies Program In Prague An Incredible Fun, Cheap, Deep And Engaging Experience!
My study abroad experience was amazing. I learned so much about the Czech republic, Prague, Jewish history and European history in general. I also had a fabulous time living on my own in a foreign country and traveling. Prague is very centrally located in Europe which means easy quick and cheap travel to tons of places!

I had the irreplaceable experience of making a 16mm film from beginning to end of the process. It was worthwhile. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
It was definitely worthwhile. I learned how to adapt when things didn't go exactly as I expected. A student - Brandeis University View Entire Review
I truly learned how to be independent. How to be smart. How to juggle fun, school, travel, friends etc. I had an unbelievable time. A student - Clark University - Worcester View Entire Review
I learned about a new region of Europe (for me), met great other American students, many of whom I'm close with and see regularly, and got to know a beautiful, exciting, enchanting city intimately for a semester. Anna K - Wellesley College View Entire Review
It was very worthwhile A student - Clark University - Worcester View Entire Review
So, so worthwhile. I fell in love with Central Europe - Prague definitely, but also Krakow and Budapest through the trips that CET organized for the whole program. I learned a lot about the history and culture of all of Central Europe, and I also learned how to live abroad and exist immersed in a culture that was not my own. I m...

I learned so much about the region; but also a deeper understanding of the people and culture. Totally worthwhile, would do it again. A student - American University View Entire Review
I gained so much from traveling. Honestly, since I did not like my program and Shabbat was difficult, I tried to travel as much as possible and I had such great experiences, mostly meeting up with brandeis friends who were studying in other countries during the semester. That aspect was worthwhile, but the program was so bad t... A student - Brandeis University View Entire Review
It was worthwhile! I had a wonderful time in Prauge and met incredible people. I would have chosen a different program in the Czech Republic, though. A student - Brandeis University View Entire Review
I learned that I can live and thrive everywhere. Extremely worthwhile. A student - Brandeis University View Entire Review
Anytime a student studies abroad they will learn a lot about whom they are and their standing in the world. They will learn about America and the host country. But, a true immersion experience is not found in the nightclubs (they are great in Prague). You learn from the people of the city more than the buildings or party spots. ... Eric K - Vanderbilt University View Entire Review
My time in Prague through CET was without a doubt the most worthwhile experience I've ever had. Prague is such a beautiful, fun, and relaxed city. And the Czech Republic as a whole is so special. The craziest, most unpredictable things happen there. There is so much to do, and the city is small enough that you really feel at hom... Caroline S - American University View Entire Review
