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

What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
When people ask about my study abroad experience with Forum-Nexus I tell them that it was truly the best summer of my life. When looking into studying abroad program I wanted one with a strong community, interesting classes, the ability to travel and one where people made good friends. This program provided those and so much more! The people I met are people I will be friends with forever, the places we go are spectacular and the memories are unforgettable. This trip was the perfect balance of education and fun. The staff are professional and experienced which made being half way across the world very comfortable. Overall, Forum-Nexus provides a study abroad experience like no other. If I could do this program every summer for the rest of my life I would. 10/10 would recommend!
