An Unforgettable Experience

Everybody will tell you that going to study abroad is an amazing experience, full of fun and relaxation. And for the most part, this is indeed very true. But like any real adventure, studying abroad comes with its share of struggles too. It may take time to learn the language and the culture of where you're staying. You will miss home; your friends and life that moves on while you're away. I say this because to me, the mark of an excellent study abroad program is that you forget the struggles; College Year in Athens (CYA) accomplishes this difficult feat. The staff are kind and understanding--from the moment you step foot in Athens they will work to help you understand and engage with Greek culture. Furthermore, the numerous field studies hosted by CYA allow students to explore parts of Greece they may otherwise never have visited, all while soaking up a rich culture and history. Keeping with this sentiment, you will live in the Pangrati neighborhood of Athens, and be able to immerse yourself in everyday Athenian life. If you have the ability, I highly encourage you to study with CYA; the opportunities and wisdom they provide for you will give you an unforgettable adventure
