Study Abroad with UPCES (CERGE-EI, Charles University)
"Traveling abroad was definitely worthwhile. I learned a lot about myself and was able to gain personal confidence around things like traveling, living alone, being in uncomfortable situations, etc. Coming back from abroad I feel more independent and ready to take on challenges! "
Emily B Hobart and William Smith Colleges

Joseph Z Middlebury College

Catie H The College of New Jersey
"I learned many different countries cultures from traveling all over Europe. Extremely worthwhile."
A student Middlebury College
"So worthwhile. Best experience of my life, and no mistake. Opened my eyes, and inspired me in so many ways, too many indeed to list within the confines of this small box. Learned about European culture, and how to live successfully in a capital city. Can't say enough about it."
A student Willamette University
"I felt that I learned a lot from my experience studying abroad. The classes were all good, and travelling and living in a foreign country was a very unique experience that will definitely help me in the future. This program is definitely worthwhile!"
A student Wesleyan University
"I gained a new understanding of the different cultures that make up a good portion of the rest of the world. It was 100% worthwhile, might be the highlight of my college career. "
A student Middlebury College
"At a very basic level, my abroad experience opened my eyes to the fact that there is an entire world of people who exist outside of our American bubble--and they are doing just fine! In fact, they do many things better than Americans do. It was beneficial for me to be the outsider, the guest, for once. It is a very humbling expe..."
Tim P Middlebury College
"I learned to be self reliant."
A student Middlebury College
"Gained good sociological/historical/cultural understanding of the Czech Republic and its surrounding countries. Developed some good traveling, living, etc. skills."
A student Middlebury College
"The world is very big and different than I imagined!"
A student Middlebury College
"I loved being right in the heart of Europe. It allowed me to travel easily and learn about a culture I had not previously studied. I got a lot of exposure to the Czech culture by living in the heart of the city and wouldn't have done anything differently. "
A student Middlebury College
"I learned more about our world outside of America."
A student Middlebury College
"Through being vastly removed from my comfort zone, I learned how to live an everyday life totally independently. The school itself was not too challenging, but that enhanced the cultural aspect of living in Prague and allowed for more adventures, such as travelling."
Jonathan C Middlebury College
"I learned how to live autonomously in a city and in new surroundings, as well as how to travel. If I could do it all again I would've taken a language and gone to a country that spoke that language. "
Luc P Middlebury College
"It was absolutely worthwhile. To sum it up in one word, I gained perspective. "
A student Middlebury College
"I learned how to be more independent and responsible living alone in a foreign country."
A student Middlebury College
"It was a fantastic experience that I wish I could do again. I learned a lot about living independently and making my own choices. I absolutely loved living in a foreign country and trying to figure out ways to communicate despite the obvious language barrier although most Czech people speak English."
A student Middlebury College
"I gained the ability to be independent, meet a wide range of people, and experience an entirely new culture. Prague was different enough culturally so that I was definitely out of my comfort zone, but the presence of Americans allowed me to get through the culture shock very easily. After talking to a range of other students com..."
A student Middlebury College
"I did not want to study abroad, and yet it was the best experience of my life. I really think it will help me in all facets of life. A lot of new perspectives. "
A student Middlebury College
"For me it was so worthwhile because while I was familiar with Western Europe, I knew nothing about eastern Europe. I am also very interested in the transition from communist economies to a free market economy so I learned a great deal into that that I would not have been able to learn at Middlebury."
A student Middlebury College
"Yes, how to live on my own"
A student Middlebury College
"I learned how to live on my own, interact with people from all over the world and how to have a more global perspective."
A student Middlebury College
"The overall experience was amazing. I was exposed to an entirely new schooling system and challenged in a way I have not though possible. I have been pushed out of my comfort zone and now I believe my comfort zone has grown. I have not been home in a long time and while it makes me miss and appreciate the things at home, I k..."
