Overall Experience
A student studying abroad with University of Nicosia - Global Semesters: Nicosia - Semester in Cyprus
I learned how to read people's body language more and patience. I also gained a new appreciation for my family and friends back at home, rather more appreciation. - Roanoke College View Entire Review
Too much to just write here. Learned how to cook, live on my own, figure out how to deal with health related issues like going to the hospital alone etc. - University of Massachusetts Amherst / UMass View Entire Review
Absolutely it was worthwhile! living in a different culture was so eye opening and i met some of the greatest people and had opportunities not many other people do. - University of Cincinnati View Entire Review
I learned a lot about the world and myself. It was definitely worthwhile. - Grand Valley State University View Entire Review
Past Review It Was Ok
I learned so much about myself and about traveling. Even though I feel like I didn't learn as much in my classes, I learned so much about overall life skills. I learned patience, being independent, working with others and so much more. Although my program had some rough patches, I do love Cyprus and the people here. I wouldn't... - Illinois State University View Entire Review
I probably couldnt list all of the things that I have learned, but I would say I am a changed person and have grown so much. It was worthwhile - Berea College View Entire Review

Past Review Mediocore
I learned a lot about myself. - Bethel University View Entire Review
I learned how to quickly adapt to different cultures and to appreciate the many differences globally. Living and exploring with peers was fun and a tad challenging at times, but the friendships were worth it!! - Illinois State University View Entire Review
I gained a lot from my experience. I have never been much of an extrovert back at my home university but since from being here I have grown a lot and have come out of my "shell" which has really helped me have a great experience abroad. - Susquehanna University View Entire Review
Cyprus is an incredible island with tons of beauty and interesting things to do, but it is definitely what you make of it. It is a place that sometimes requires stepping out of your comfort zone, trying new things, meeting new people, and taking risks. - Susquehanna University View Entire Review
Studying abroad with global semesters in Cyprus was a great experience. However, it could have been better as well. I highly recommend doing research about the program, college and the country. What you see is not always what you get - Kean University View Entire Review
Past Review Good Times
I think the apartment location was a great part of the experience. Very close to school and a bus stop. I wish we would have don't more excursions as a group. Think the troodos excursion should be in the spring or the summer. We didn't get to do anything and I was pretty bummed about that - University of Nicosia View Entire Review
It was worthwhile, i learned a lot about myself, and more about the world around me. - University of West Florida View Entire Review
I gained alot of knowledge on the culture and the people of cyprus! - Grand Valley State University View Entire Review
Going abroad allowed me to gain insight to different cultures and also learn to appreciate my own. - North Carolina A&T State University View Entire Review
Yes. Learned about many cultures, learned some Greek, visited other countries, and continued academics. - Susquehanna University View Entire Review
I gained a lot of confidence and became more independent while here. When you're planning your own trips to other countries, there are so many aspects and components that you have to think about and because of this I believe I have personally grown. - Susquehanna University View Entire Review
Through being abroad I learned to have fun and to try new things. I have completely stepped out of my comfort zone. I truly have learned that life begins at the end of your comfort zone. I recommend studying abroad to all college students. I wish that I would have went earlier throughout my career so that I could go again before... - Bennett College View Entire Review
Past Review Plane Hopping
I learned Greek and became accustomed to many different cultures during trips with friends. It was worthwhile to learn how to become more independent and to meet new and wonderful people. - Pace University View Entire Review
I gained a lot of cultural awareness from my experience abroad and I definitely think it was worthwhile because it made me think about the world more and have a different perspective on life. - Susquehanna University View Entire Review
I became a lot more independent. The experience was totally worth I've learned so much about traveling/just being on my own. I feel I am now a traveler. - Bennett College View Entire Review
I gained invaluable international experience in a multitude of countries, while learning about myself and my place in the world. - Pace University View Entire Review
My time spent abroad was a wonderful experience that I would not take back. Through this program, I have grown as a person and learned things about myself that I would not have learned at my home university. This program allowed me to travel to 5 countries in less than four months, something I never thought would be possible. - Illinois State University View Entire Review
Past Review Amazing
The time I spent in Cyprus was one of a kind. I am so thankful to have been apart of this experience on this wonderful island. Not only were the people and culture amazing so was every other aspect, and I would not trade this experience for anything else in the world. - University of Nicosia View Entire Review
