FORUM NEXUS STUDY ABROAD- ONE AND ONLY Past Review
By Sharen P (Entrepreneurship, CUNY - Baruch College) for
Forum-Nexus: Ultimate Summer in Europe - 9 Cities in 1 Month
Lots of people say studying abroad can be one of the most rewarding and exciting experiences in a college student's career. Getting to know another culture, living in a new environment, learning a new language, and meeting new people are all different from the type of education one acquires on campus. Equally important for all students is the discovery of their own country, as they come to see it from a foreign vantage point.

A Look Back
| * What did you like most about the program? |
|
| * What could be improved? |
|
| * What do you know now that you wish you knew before going on this program? | Understandably, choosing the right program to study abroad is not simple. There's just so much to keep in mind as far as expenses, classes you're interested in taking, places you want to visit, etc. When I heard about Forum Nexus, I immediately knew this was the program for me; a month long trip to six amazing cities, at a fairly reasonable cost, and an opportunity that allows so many others to arise. Forum Nexus truly has a lot to offer; a large variety of classes, wonderful professors, four star hotels, interesting professional visits, and so many opportunities to meet new people and make new friends. The program greatly improves your leadership skills, team collaboration, global awareness, and cultural intelligence as you learn from your professors, your surroundings, and the companies and organzations you visit. Do your research. Forum-Nexus may be the program for you as well! |
