Review Your Program

On-site administration of your program

Full immersion into culture!

We stayed in mostly very nice hotels. This is VERY rare in study abroad programs, where the housing is not ideal. One of our hotels was a 5-star resort on a Greek Island.

A Look Back

* What did you like most about the program?
  • freedom
  • so many places
* What could be improved?
  • more free time
* What do you know now that you wish you knew before going on this program? I LOVED this program. We had a decent balance between school and free time. We had the chance to travel to so many places in such a short amount of time; we were never bored. We were given a lot of freedom and were able to explore on our own. If I could repeat my summer again, I would do it in a heartbeat. I've made great friends—we still keep in touch and travel to visit each other. Great experience, one of the best summers of my life.
