Forum-Nexus: Ultimate Summer in Europe - 7 Cities in 1 Month

What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
Studying abroad with Forum Nexus was an absolutely unbelievable experience. Looking back on it, i don't think there is any other way that i would have rather studied abroad. This was my first time visiting Europe and i loved visiting so many unique cities in the same program. You travel to so many cool places but you never feel like you are rushed or missing out. Other than that, the professors are great, you'll meet some amazing people, and you'll have the time of your life
