A new, interesting, enjoyable experience! Past Review
By A student (Lake Forest College) - abroad from 03/08/2017 to 05/10/2017 with
Webster University: Athens - Odyssey in Athens
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.
