This experience was more than worthwhile and I would recommend it to absolutely everyone. The people of Greece are so friendly and welcoming. At the beginning of the program, I traveled around to other countries, but always found myself excited to be going back to Athens. Of course, I loved the other countries that I went to, b...

I think I gained a better understanding of the world. I still I have FAR to go don't get me wrong, but being able to leave America and dive into a new culture and experience a different college setting I think teaches you important life lessons. Kendall Byrons - SUNY - College at Geneseo 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 A - 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

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

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 was able to experience life in ways I couldn't even begin to imagine. The entire trip was such a notable experience, one that will forever be cherished with the most positive memories I have. As I write this, I can't help but feel a sense of sorrow and desire. A desire to relive a time in my life that I wish would go on foreve... Julian D - Webster University 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.
