I learned a new language, that I have a love for travel and need to travel as often as I can. Megan R - Webster University View Entire Review
I never realized how much this experience would change my life. I learned so much about myself and I am a completely different person than I was 6 months ago. Living abroad can be difficult, but I definitely became more independent. I also found a passion for traveling and hope I get to travel more in my lifetime.

I think I became a better person, learning to be more responsible and mature, and gaining a new found awareness of other cultures. It was definitely worthwhile. A student - SUNY - Buffalo View Entire Review
Gained a best friend. Learned about myself, learned to be more communicative and social, learned about other countries and religions, learned to be more confident in myself. Gained 3 months i will never forget. It was completely worthwhile. A student - Marist College View Entire Review
This trip was amazing, no lie. I gained so much knowledge about the world and life in general. The program opened my eyes to the whole other side of the world. It's amazing what three months in another country can do for a person. Kayla S - University of Indianapolis View Entire Review
It was truly a once in a lifetime experience in which I was completely immersed in another culture. It was worthwhile because as a graduate student, I probably will not get the opportunity to travel abroad again! Katrina S - University of Indianapolis View Entire Review
cultural exposure yes!!! A student - SUNY - College at Geneseo View Entire Review
international perspective; absolutely Elizabeth A - University of Indianapolis View Entire Review
I feel like I learned how to relax a little more because the people in Greece are so laid back. I also learned how to be even more independent because I came to Greece by myself, and spent the first couple of days by myself, and spent the last week by myself. leanne.schaefer - Capital University View Entire Review
It was absolutely worthwhile. I would highly suggest study abroad in general, and specifically Odyssey in Athens. Brian S - SUNY - Buffalo View Entire Review
I learned a lot about international relations and economic difficulty in other countries. It was such a valuable experience. Maggie E - Transylvania University View Entire Review
I learned a lot more about myself in that one semester than I did in the three and a half years in my home school because of the unique space in which I learned, experienced, and spent exploring another culture. Overall, It will change your life. You’ll come back a new person! Irene M - CUNY - Queens College View Entire Review
I learned that sometimes you never know how you are going to react to situation until you are put right in the middle of it. Only, then will you truly know. lauren.gahimer - Saint Louis University View Entire Review
I learned how to be more independent, and I learned more about myself. It was the greatest opportunity, and I would do it all over again if I could. A student - Adelphi University View Entire Review
Great experience! I gained a lot of responsibility. Definitely recommend whoever have the opportunity to take it and go abroad! Katherine K - Kean University View Entire Review
I learned to immerse myself in new culture. Despite the negative views of Greece I never felt like I was not safe. I made new life long friends both local and Americans. And my greatest memories are with them. I needed something my home campus could not offer and my abroad experience is the high light of my college experience. A student - SUNY - College at Geneseo View Entire Review
I saw all the sites and learned all the history exactly like I wanted but I also found something I didn't know I was looking for, lifelong friends. The UINDY Athens campus is a school for international students, many students are the children of diplomats, and there are few who were born in Greece. When I was there the Odyssey p...

I learned a lot about myself, and I learned a lot about traveling internationally A student - SUNY - College at Geneseo View Entire Review
Studying abroad in Greece taught me so much and is definitely an experience that I will not forget. Through our daily experiences in Athens, Greece I learned so much about Greek culture. Our weekend excursions to Ancient Greek ruins and the island of Santorini allowed me to take in the rich history of Greece and learn more about...

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.
