I gained experience and friendships! Yes! Grace Ganley - Millikin University View Entire Review
It was absolutely worthwhile, and to be sort of thrown into a new experience and new environment like that provides a world of benefits and experiences that it is hard to find anywhere else. A student - Lake Forest College View Entire Review
This experience was more than worthwhile and I would recommend it to absolutely everyone. The people of Greece are so friendly and welcoming.

It was a great opportunity to get to learn about another culture while actually living within it. A student - Washington & Jefferson College View Entire Review
I learned how to travel on my own and be more outgoing. You also become less dependent on technology and learn to experience things first hand instead of through a screen. It was absolutely worthwhile. Stephanie Hartos - Kent State University View Entire Review

I gained international experience and a better understanding of outside cultures Juan J - Goucher College View Entire Review
I'm Greece everything is so laid back. I learned that there is no reason to be so rushed in everything I do. I learned to relax and have patience and to just enjoy my surroundings. I learned it's okay to do things on your own and do what I want to do. I defiantly see a difference in myself and being abroad made me stronger and m...

A look on how bad the economic crisis is in Greece. Melshad Broom - Webster University View Entire Review
Definitely worth while, i think i gained a new appreciation for other countries and other ways of life/ cultures. A student - Goucher College View Entire Review
The main thing I learned is to be comfortable with being uncomfortable. It's a learning experience and one shouldn't shy away from it just because it's different. That would be missing out on life. Elijah Rodriguez - Goucher College View Entire Review
I learned that I am so much more capable than I thought I was, and I learned that it is truly possible to DO things with your life. Makenna - Webster University View Entire Review
Webster Athens was part of my Global MA program through Webster University, so I only spent two months in Athens but it was wonderful. I learned a lot about the culture, the people, and also Webster Athens provided me with plenty of opportunities to explore outside of Athens as well. Debora Aberastury - Webster University View Entire Review
It was totally worth it. I learned to live abroad on my own. I learned new things from locals and became part of their society and I can also speak one more language now thanks to this course. Benjamas Suter - Webster University View Entire Review
Learned there is much more to the world than the city I grew up in. That you have so much in common with people all over the world and getting to know them will bring such happiness to your life! AnnMary Baker - SUNY - College at Geneseo View Entire Review
To say the least, this was an absolutely incredible experience. I learned so much these past few months, not only about Greece and its culture but also about myself. I would recommend this program in a heartbeat. Celia W - Goucher College View Entire Review
About
Why Greece? You may ask... and Why Athens? Greece is the birthplace of so many modern ideas and Athens is the center of where it all happened. Webster-Athens is in an excellent location for formal study - at the foothills of the Acropolis. Just walking around the streets near the university, you can take in so much of this ancient, yet modern, city.
With its extraordinary artistic, intellectual and cultural heritage, Athens is richly endowed with resources for formal study and experiential learning. The museums at the Acropolis and the ancient Agora, as well as the National Archaeological Museum, the Cycladic Museum, and the Benaki collections are within minutes of the Athens Campus facilities. Cultural events including concerts, recitals, dance and theater, as well as international trade shows, conferences and symposia, public lectures, gallery exhibits, sports events and marathons, are an integral part of life in this bustling, cosmopolitan city at the confluence of Europe, Asia and Africa.
