By Halina (University of Texas - San Antonio) - abroad from 06/08/2017 to 07/05/2017 with
University of Nicosia - Global Semesters: Nicosia - Summer in Cyprus
I learned that I can travel on my own and navigate around a different country. I also learned several things about the country itself both from the class I took and being out around the city and it's people.

* Overall educational experience
Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc. |
This summer program in Cyprus with global semesters has been one of the best experiences of my life. I was able to travel on my own around the beautiful island with people I've never met before who have become some of my closest friends. I learned various amounts of new information through the courses I took that I believe I wouldn't have been exposed to had it not been for this program. Hands down would do it all over again and would recommend to anyone and everyone to absolutely go for it and do it! |

| Do you have any general money-saving tips for future study abroad participants? | Choose between buying groceries and eating out less or just eating out and buying the essential groceries. While groceries sounds like the cheaper alternative, every weekend is spent out of Nicosia for the most part so if you do decide to go that route, buy things that won't go bad so quick. |
