The best way to experience Europe in just 2 weeks! Past Review
By Leslie S (Finance, Financial Services, Murray State University) - abroad from 12/27/2015 to 01/11/2016 with
International Business Seminars: Winter Europe
This experience taught me how to communicate with people from different cultures, who speak different languages, and have different social norms. These are very important learned skills that cannot be taught in a classroom.

Review Your Program
|
* Overall educational experience
Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc. |
This program is the perfect way to meet new people, travel internationally, and have a unique educational experience all at the same time. IBS puts a lot of thought and effort into creating their one-of-a-kind programs and it truly shows. My world views were challenged, and I gained a deeper understanding of myself and where I see my career in the future. The professors were very knowledgeable about everything from the companies to great restaurants around the various cities. This program was truly life changing and worth every penny! |

The expenses are what you make them. It is possible to spend less money, but I found that to really eat good food and experience the attractions more money is necessary. |
