Program Reviews

Forum-Nexus is a very interesting program with amazing professors. The program blends in academics and fun in the most perfect way. I got to visit more than 7 European cities in 1 month so that's unbeatable. And the accommodation was perfectly chosen so we're always at easy access to everything in the cities.
I took one class on cultural intelligence and the professor was very knowledgeable and full of energy. Professional visits were also great!
I met so many great students, learned so much and experienced so much!

My Forum-Nexus experience last summer was pretty good. The program director was very friendly, which made me feel welcome and comfortable. I'm happy that I chose to participate in this program, as I met a lot of great people and made lasting connections.

One of the aspects I enjoyed the most was the Independent Cultural Visits. These visits encouraged us to go out and research on our own, which allowed us to learn and grow in a more personal way. I was also pleasantly surprised by the quality of the hotels we stayed in – they were actually very good.

Also, I really enjoyed the International Business class, taught by Prof Laura. She was not only personable but also very passionate about the subject. Her enthusiasm made the class engaging and enjoyable. Overall, my experience with Forum-Nexus was a memorable and enriching one.

My time with Forum-Nexus was truly an unmatched and life-changing experience! I know I've made lifelong friends throughout the program. Hugo, the program director, is a total homie! He made the program so entertaining, and his excitement was absolutely contagious.

I'm incredibly happy that I chose to participate in Forum-Nexus, as it turned out to be the best and most formative month of my life. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Forum-Nexus to a friend, simply because it was an impeccable experience with a spectacular staff.

Professor Laura was outstanding. I loved her use of real-life examples and her constant encouragement for students to participate. Dr. H clearly loves what he teaches, and his enthusiasm was truly infectious.

My "International IQ" improved so much during my time with the program! My internship was amazing and a formative experience, giving me a real taste of the working world. I'm beyond grateful for this opportunity, and I can't stress enough how top-notch the communication from the leaders was.

This was my first time to Europe and it was definitely above my expectations. Traveling to many cities in one summer was a dream come true and the level of organization and details the program put into it made it awesome. The staff were great; very friendly and supportive. The hotels were in perfect locations with easy access to everything. All students became friends very quickly making everyone feel like home.
It's a dream come true study abroad program that I would definitely do again! Highly recommended!

The ultimate summer with Forum-Nexus was an experience of a lifetime! I met incredible people from all over the world that turned into long lasting friends and teachers that turned into mentors. As a student athlete in college it was never possible for me to study abroad for a semester due to my training schedule but FN was the perfect program to enable me to experience the abroad study experience in one month. I loved the unique experience of moving from place to place while studying because I like to "do it all." Dr H always gave us the local tips and insight to travel with confidence, not to mention the best sites to see so we would hit the ground running and maximize our time. From helping me earn credits for my graduate degree, to inspiring my career with the professional visits, I'll never forget my summer with FN!

Forum-Nexus was so fun and the best way to go abroad!! Because of covid spiking early in the year, FN decided to stay in 1 country for the summer, but we traveled to multiple cities and it was amazing! I love that the program is (usually) multi-country and multi-city, because you can see so much of the world and experience different cultures. This summer we went to Rome, Florence, Milan, Lake Garda, and Venice. It was so fun and each city was so different. We also were able to go on weekend trips if we wanted and I went to Croatia which was so cool. The professors are so nice and accommodating. Yes, you have school work but it is manageable and they understand that traveling the world and new experiences outside of the classroom are important too. You have the freedom to do what you want in your free-time. The professional visits were also really cool! They are to interesting places like the Gucci Museum in Florence and a gelato factory in Bergamo. The hotels were also super nice and the breakfast was so good too. I traveled with some high school friends and FN accommodated us so we were in a room for 3 every time and we all had a bed, not a cot or anything. Thank you Forum-Nexus for the best summer ever!

This trip is definitely one time life experience. It was perfect in every possible way! The staff is so professional in their work, organized, helpful, and fun! You get the chance to travel to 12 different cities, each better than the other. I loved the experience, I got to make friends whom I still talk to and hang out with. Truly, from the bottom of my heart, YOU HAVE TO GO! You won't regret it a tiny bit. Be ready to experience the best trip of your life. Be open to learning about new traditions. Be ready to meet different people. Be ready to tell your family and friends about it!!! I would suggest bringing a friend with you so that you have a greta company that you both will remember the rest of your life, but at the same time, branching out and meeting new people is definitely a plus.

Forum-Nexus was everything I could have asked for in a study abroad program and more. Not only did we have to opportunity to visit so many beautiful cities in different countries around Europe but they did a fantastic job making sure we really experienced the culture of each city. We were lucky enough to attend professional visits to huge international companies and were encouraged to visit as many museums and cultural sites as possible. The people I met during the Forum-Nexus program were what really made this experience so special. I entered the program without knowing a single person and left with a huge family. I had no idea it was possible to meet and make best friends in 4 weeks. All of the professors and directors are so helpful and encouraging and put me at ease before and during the trip. This program was the most amazing experience of my life and I cannot recommend it enough to anyone interested.

Forum-Nexus allowed me to explore some of the best parts of the planet! I learned so much and gained great memories!! The month seems to fly by because all the days are packed with fun and educational events. Although it may seem impossible to afford or imagine yourself going alone to unknown countries, it is totally worth it and feasible. I never thought I would be able to travel growing up but this program made it effortless. It allowed me to learn so much and meet great people. The staff is extremely helpful and understanding. The landmarks I saw were amazing and way better than pictures of them. Immersing in the culture of each country is an amazing perspective to experience and helps with understanding that not everyone is the same as.

This program is really one of a kind! I went to Europe not knowing anyone and never having been to Europe before but quickly made friends that turned into my family. From the moment you step off the plane adventure awaits. We spent all summer exploring the cities we were in and learning about the local culture. I got to visit world famous museums and see iconic sites like the Eiffel Tower. Every detail of the program was amazing from the hotels to transportation. They made sure that any question or problem you had they were there to help you. Classes we all really interesting, and Professor Hugo always made sure you had a good time. One of my favorite parts was paragliding the the French Alps with all my friends, it was truly unforgettable. This program is life changing and recommended it to anyone!
