As someone who had a very limited knowledge of Cyprus before attending this program, I would say that this program is a hidden gem. Not only did I gain an amazing story to tell, I got to live in a country I most likely would have never visited. I also came home with a cat! Ruby M - Wellesley College View Entire Review
My experience was worthwhile. I was able to meet students from all over the world at an international school, travel to other countries, and build my portfolio in my classes. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
Had a lot of opportunities to engage with fellow students and academics. Learned how to budget, navigate international transit, and became more mature. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I learned how to budget on my own, travel safely, and live in an entirely new place. I’ve always lived in the same area, and it was awesome to live elsewhere. I also learned a lot of Cypriot history, which was fascinating. Sophia F - Wellesley College View Entire Review

How to live on my own and it was worthwhile. A student - Farmingdale State College (SUNY) View Entire Review
I learned that I am extremely grateful for things that are really small. I think the weekend trips and the experience was extremely worthwhile but I feel as though I wasted a lot of time in classes that I didn't need to be taking. A student - Susquehanna University View Entire Review
I learned about a new culture and its history. I learned new systems of government and of healthcare. A student - University of Pittsburgh - Pittsburgh View Entire Review
Choose wisely before you select where you want to study abroad. Read lots of reviews. Do your own research. In my experience, I learned how to room with more than one other person. I also got more confident with taking public transportation. Sheldon Raney - Hendrix College View Entire Review
I learned new cultures and languages and experienced what it was like in other parts of the world. It was extremely worth while! I would do it again in a heartbeat. A student - Clemson University View Entire Review
I learn a lot about the culture and more about myself. It was worthwhile. kla brannon - Bennett College View Entire Review
Cyprus is not a place a want to head back to, but Europe is better than I Expected A student - Illinois State University View Entire Review
People around the world aren’t as different as you think. While we should celebrate our uniqueness, we must recognize our similarities, and treat others like we want to be treated, because they feel how we feel. A student - Boise State University View Entire Review
I gained a lot of friends from a variety of backgrounds. I think my education at my home institution is better, but ti was an interesting experience. Edwin F - Middlebury College View Entire Review
I learned a substantial amount of Greek, I learned more about travel and living alone/abroad. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I got to experience life on a tiny island and go to so many regions of the world I never thought I’d go. It was amazing. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review

I learned so much about other people, about myself, and about life. My experience was very much worthwhile. Emma Boggs - University of Kentucky View Entire Review
I feel as though I have grown as a person. I know I can be away from home for a long time and be okay. I have learned that I can’t live with four people at the same time, because of how we lived as individuals. But everything i have learned was worthwhile and I would recommend to anyone who wants to study abroad Kimberly Larabee - University of Maine - Farmington View Entire Review

About
As a Semester in Cyprus student, you have unprecedented access to hundreds of courses in nearly every major at The University of Nicosia which is in the top 2% of universities in the world (Times Higher Education). There are options for credit-based internships, research and volunteer opportunities, along with full-immersion in the classroom, since there is no language barrier, and included guided travel around Cyprus to experience its rich cultural and natural history.
This program is perfect for students who want customized course schedules, are searching for hard-to-find research or lab-based courses, and for STEM students who do not have many opportunities to study abroad in English. There is something for every type of student and major in Cyprus at the University of Nicosia!
Cyprus as a location is ranked as the safest country in the world for 15- 19 year olds (World Health organization). With over 12,000 years of cultural heritage and some of the top beaches in Cyprus, there is no limit to what can be explored!
