Past Review
By Cody J (Bachelor of Arts - History/Economics , University of Nebraska - Kearney) for
Palacky University: Olomouc - Direct Enrollment & Exchange
The Nebraska Study Abroad program was worth every dollar, and many more. The cultures and experiences I encountered opened my eyes to how interesting the world really is. I recommend this program to anyone who is thinking of attending.
