CIEE Kyoto, Summer Ancient + Modern Japan

This was a condensed 6-week program, and you definitely feel the fast paced course load. That being said, if you are able to stay on track with the course work, you still have plenty of time to explore the Kyoto, both through program organized excursions and through independent travel if you so desire. I personally really enjoyed the independence and encouragement given to the students to explore Kyoto on behalf of the program. Additionally, Kyoto is simply an incredible city to study in. Would definitely recommend!
