Amazing times in Greece! Past Review
By Sarah stacey (Ramapo College) - abroad from 06/19/2017 to 07/19/2017 with
American College of Thessaloniki (ACT): Go Greek in Greece, Summer Program
What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
I learned so much inside the classroom but I think what I learned culturally outside the program is what matters most and what I took the most away from. I learned about our cultural differences and how to fully function somewhere besides the United States.
