Med Roots Past Review

By (SUNY - College at Geneseo) - abroad from 06/26/2016 to 08/01/2016 with

SUNY Geneseo: Traveling - Mediterranean Roots Summer Program

What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
I had an amazing time traveling all of Europe. The classes were scheduled loosely and were very relevant to the places we visited. I cant imagine a more immersive and satisfying experience for a course. Experiences ranged from learning about the Olympian gods while in Olympia and Delphi to learning about Dante while visiting his grave. No other program in the world is as well organized as this one.
