Important Dates and Deadlines
No important dates configured."I learned how to be comfortable being uncomfortable- talking to random people wherever I went, constantly practicing a new language while learning it, and living differently than I do back home. "
Alex R Emory University
"I learned a lot about navigating different dynamics in a cohort, as well as the local culture in Vietnam. My time abroad opened my perspective to new ideas that I would have not been able to have at my home institution. I also became more independent and started thinking in a different way about my life and what I wanted to do. "
Minh-Thy T Emory University
"I was able to become more independent and experience so many amazing things! I saw lots of amazing places and fell in love with living in Athens."
Ruby V Emory University
"I had never spent so much time out of the country in one place, so I had never been able to engage with another culture on that same level. Every day I was pushing myself outside of my comfort zone, learning, and enjoying a country that has grown very dear to my heart. It was challenging in many regards, but I needed that push, ..."
Alexa D Emory University
"CYA gives you so many opportunities. I was able to volunteer, go on trips around Greece, go on trips out of Greece, take field trips with my classes, and experience real Greek traditions. There is so much offered by CYA, and they truly make sure that you are having the time of your life."

Justine Zimmerman Emory University

"I'd never realized my eyes were closed until I opened them to the world of study abroad, in Milan. My home university is a bubble, a safe haven; studying abroad opens you to the world, allowing you to absorb history and culture simply by living. I believe I learned more studying abroad than I had in a lifetime, considering my im..."
