Prague- A Magical City Global Leadership Program - Nice Past Review
By Faisal S (Aviation Managment, York College) for
Study Abroad Programs in Czech Republic
First, a misconception about East Europe was erased. Before going to Prague everyone was like "Prague is an East European city, it must be dangerous and they communist" But it was very safe and the people are really friendly. Then visited different European cities, it was an eye opener, learned the culture , explored the political situation between EU and United States.
