A Hell of a Break Past Review
By A student (The Citadel) - abroad from 09/19/2017 to 12/20/2017 with
University of Nicosia - Global Semesters: Nicosia - Semester in Cyprus
I learned about the history of Cyprus as well as other European history through individual travel. It was worthwhile.

The Avid AdventurerThe wardrobe you packed was better suited for a semester of camping than club hopping. Outdoorsy, you might forgo a crazy night out for an early all-day adventure. You'd rather take in the rich culture of an old town than the metropolis of a modern city, but for you getting off the grid is ideal. |
