Program Reviews

This is a great way to spend your summer! You will get to visit many countries and cities with some of the best people you will ever meet. You'll be exposed to a diverse group of people that will make your experience one to rememberer. The program is very flexible with amazing professors and staff that guide you every step of the way.
When I came back home after the summer many people asked me how it went. All I could say was "unforgettable". Forum-Nexus is a great way to get out of your comfort zone and have a summer you can look back on forever.

Traveling with Forum-Nexus was one of the best decisions that I ever made. The faculty and staff were wonderful and really cared about each student. Being able to see at least 9 cities in such a short amount of time was truly unique. My favorite place that we visited was Chamonix, France. It is a quaint little town that is surrounded by mountains and the views are stunning. I would highly recommend this program to anyone who is ready for the summer of their lives.

My month abroad in Europe with Forum-Nexus made for the most memorable summer of my life! Studying abroad had always been at the top of my “must-dos” list for college. In five weeks I was able to travel through five different countries and eleven enchanting cities (optional weekend trips). This was my very first trip out of the United States and I couldn’t imagine traveling with a better group of people. Forum-Nexus had the most professional, friendly, and knowledgeable staff and professors; and the other students were so interesting and culturally diverse. It was an amazing feeling to be surrounded by others who were as passionate to travel as much as myself. Overall, every single country was amazing and had something beautiful and unique to offer each person. I learned so much about Europe, it only fueled my desire to learn and travel more. I made great friends who I still keep in touch with and will carry these memories for a lifetime! I absolutely recommend Forum-Nexus to any college student looking to travel, learn about other cultures, and have an incredible fun and enriching summer!

When I found this program online, I didn't think it was real. The program has you travel to 5 countries in Europe (Spain, France, Switzerland, Italy, and Greece) and gives you enough time to travel to even more. It offers classes for all majors and they were very helpful with transferring over my credits to my college as well. The staff was all very friendly and was as accommodating as they could possibly be. It was also very organized, in it that something was planned almost every day, which is exactly how I want a program to be so that no time is wasted at all. Overall, I had something to talk about to my friends for months and I still talk about it up to this day. It was super fun and I recommend it to everyone.

FN is the best way to improve your network. Here you can find
people with very different points of view, make new friends, new business partners and improve your business knowledge. Also, people from different cultures find out new information about other cultures. The program is a “Deep Dive” into different world cultures. Most of all I was impressed by different
activities during the sessions: group work, project work, where you can share your opinions with the
partners, agree or disagree on some points and come to the common conclusions. That was the most
difficult point in fact. People differ much in their views and stand their ground. But as a result of this
collaboration and communication we found lots of common ideas and were pleased to present them to
the public. The most challenging task of all was the task of making a presentation to the audience where
the group had not only to discuss the ideas and issues but implement them in practice, how it would work
in reality. In general, the program was exciting! I miss all the participants and organizers. If I had a chance to be
engaged in it one more time I would definitely use it and be the part of FN!!!!!!!

Amazing study abroad program! It was the greatest thing I did in college and I would recommend it to everyone. Every person can get something beneficial out of this program and won't regret doing it! The variety of events and activities that the staff picks out and the experience gained is like no other study abroad program.

The friendships and connections I have made from this program will stay with me for the rest of my life. I always tell my friends to sign up for the program because I believe they are missing out on something that could truly be a special month for them as it was for me!

Quite honestly I have no words for how amazing this program is. Before Forum Nexus I had never been out of the country. Being from Chicago, big cities never bothered me and I consider myself a pretty cultured person, being as there are people from all over that reside in the windy city. Being in a foreign country has nothing on the experiences I have had here in the states. The places we went, the people we met , the food we ate, everything from start to finish was something I could only dream about until finding Forum Nexus. The staff was so welcoming and genuine and I learned so much from them all both inside and outside of the classroom. There is not enough time in the day to tell you haw grateful I am to have gotten to experience a trip so magical, while still learning and growing academically. I am a changed person because of the opportunity Forum Nexus gave me and I would 100% recommend this program to anyone who asks. Shouting THIS IS FORUM NEXUS, all the way from Ohio!!!!!

Participating in Forum-Nexus over the summer was the best decision of my life - I visited so many incredible places and made life-long friends in the short span of five weeks. I would recommend this program to any student who wants to study abroad, but does not wish to be tied down to one specific city. One of the most unique aspects about Forum-Nexus is what they call Professional Visits. These are personal visits to places such as the UN-Geneva, CERN, UniCredit Bank, and many others. The visits are hosted by a professional within the organization, and it is truly a once in a lifetime opportunity to see these places and see how they work. My favorite memory from Forum-Nexus was going to the island of Santorini, which is off the coast of Greece. I had the best day of my life there, and I owe it to Forum-Nexus being accommodating to weekend trips that are planned by students! While in Santorini, we booked a boat that brought us to a black sand beach, allowed us to swim in a semi-active volcano where sulfur was still rising, eat a traditional Greek dinner on the water, and see the sunset with several other boats. This night was topped off with walking up 300 steps to find the bus, but at least some fireworks started going off during the climb!
Honestly, do yourself a favor and sign up for this study abroad program. If you have any questions about it or studying abroad in general, feel free to email me at cjperl@gmail.com
Also all attached photos were taken by me, on the trip.

This study abroad experience was incredible. I have been on five study abroad programs and never have I had such kind staff to help me feel comfortable through the whole journey. They put so much trust in the students and are always trying to make sure everyone is enjoying their time and getting the most out of their experience. Everyone there was so open minded and willing to listen and learn. This program will always have a special place in my heart. It was one of the best summers of my life. Thank you Forum Nexus!!

Forum Nexus was one of the best experiences I have ever made in my life. In one month I traveled to 10+ new cities with amazing people I now consider my family. Not only did I have so much fun but I also learned so much about European culture, values, and history. The professors are extremely smart and worldly. They are always there to answer your questions, along with the staff! The staff wants you to have the best possible time and they succeed!! I wouldn't have traded this summer and this experience for anything else. I would 100 percent recommend Forum Nexus to anyone who wants to travel and experience many different cities, loves to have fun, wants to learn, and have the BEST summer of there life!!!
