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

What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
I thoroughly enjoyed the program and would definitely participate again. I made a lot of new friends and loved all the cities especially Paris and Riva del Garda. As for academics, International IQ was fun and engaging and my knowledge definitely improved. The Art History class was interesting and truly helped me to gain a greater appreciation for art and its history in Europe. ICVs are also a great way of experiencing Europe. It's a wonderful experience that really changes your life and that's why I would recommend it to everyone!
