Hi everyone, my name is Isabelle Joffe. I’ve currently just finished my last year at Adelphi University and I’m starting dental school in July. I decided to do his program to just get a better understanding of dentistry before I start my dental school journey. I’ve loved working with the doctor here. He was amazing and extremely educated in his craft. He showed me so many things I haven’t seen before. He even let me drill on a real tooth. He showed me how to prep a crown and do a routine and all that staff- it was so awesome. The Cerca Abroad staff was amazing. On Whatsapp, someone is always there. You can text them any second and they will respond as soon as possible. I also loved Athens, it’s so beautiful here, the people are amazing, the food is amazing, the metro system is really clean and accessible and I just loved my whole experience here. I would recommend it to anyone. |

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. |
