Program Reviews

Traveling with a group of strangers, who soon become family in unfamiliar countries, helped open my eyes to a completely different world. Forum Nexus ties in all the right components to a study abroad program. The program met all my expectations and more. I can honestly say I had an overall amazing time. I was exposed to real world experiences in my field of study while being able to travel and enjoy each cities landmarks and night-life.

I loved the experience I had while on Forum Nexus. We went all over Europe and saw amazing places as well as learned about business essentials. I would recommend it to anyone and would love to go again!

In one month I was able to travel to Spain, France, Switzerland, Italy, and Greece. I ate delicious food, made lots of friends, learned about cultures, went on adventures daily, explored cities, and made memories to last a life time!

I had always wanted to study abroad during college. I had never been out of the United States and so the summer before my junior year I decided I wanted to go abroad. I found Forum-Nexus through my Study Abroad Advisor and fell in love with what the program had to offer me! The program travels all over Europe in one month, and one of the stops was Greece, which was my one and only pre-requisite for picking my program. I am Greek and before Forum-Nexus I had never been. This program's students and staff became a family for me and my time abroad is something I will always cherish.

I honestly had the best time of my life during this program. Usually I am the type of the person that would find a flaw in almost everything but for some reason Forum Nexus was just PERFECT.
I would do it again if I could and I already recommended it to my friends and sister.

I love you FN!

From the beginning to the end, Forum-Nexus as a program offered and followed through with every detail a study abroad program should. The website is laid out informatively, the support staff is genuinely interested in your participation, the first day of orientation is all-encompassing with cultural logistics, weekends are left free for students to tour the cities, classes are held casually yet there are enough professional visits to get you a feel for the real business lifestyle, the hotels are comfortable and located in serious vacation spots, and the closing ceremony is intimate as well as serves delicious international food. The best thing about Forum-Nexus is that it caters to the global student; we travel with people from all over the earth and Dr. Hugo's international IQ component really pushes us to become a citizen of the world. I never had any difficulties traveling around Europe or completing schoolwork. Since the interns and professors travel with us, any and every question you may have is easily answered by a very friendly staff. Not to mention how simple the credit transfer is from one of the European universities back to your home institution. I definitely give it a 10/10!

Forum Nexus has a special place in my heart. Throughout the summer I travelled to countries I only dreamt of visiting. The professors were very knowledgeable and kept you engaged. We had fun while learning, the program director Hugo was amazing, he encourages you to fully embrace in a new cultural and enjoy life. The workload was very bearable, you will always have time to do your schoolwork and make time for touring the city. I will cherish my friends and my experience over the summer. Forum Nexus is an amazing program and I would recommend it to everyone I know.

Studying abroad with Forum Nexus has been an incredible experience. This past summer I was able to take a cross- cultural sociology class that counted towards my sociology degree, while studying abroad in Europe. Whether it was banana boat riding in the Greek islands to walking around park Guell in Barcelona to taking a gondola ride up to the top of Mount Blanc in France. I can say I left Europe with no regrets, new friendships and memories that I will cherish forever.

This programs was absolutely incredible, and I can safely say that I had one of the greatest summers of my life! Like most programs, It does have its flaws (ie: paying for internet in some hotels, and I wish that I could have spent longer in some cities), however the numerous outstanding aspects of the program outweight the flaws by a landslide. The staff is fun and caring and moreover, extremely knowledgable, and they take the time to get to know you outside of the classroom, on a more personal level. That being said, between the group of students and the staff, after four short weeks, you feel as if you have become part of a family.
In addition, I had the opportunity to broaden my horizons: inside AND outside of the classroom. By the end of my travels with forum-nexus, I was more culturally aware than ever. I really learned to see from a new, more worldly perspective, ultimately, changing the way that I see the world, and the way that the world sees me.
There was a great balance of work and study time, and enjoyment and exploration, really giving me the chance to see a cityl, and learn about it as well.
To sum up my review, I woukd study with forum-nexus again in a heartbeat. Initially, I was a little skeptical about applying and payig, being that I just found the program on a random website, but I am forever thankful that I took the risk and applied and joined not knowing what to expect. I can whoel-heartedly say: this trip changed my life for the better.

its important to make the most out of everyday and see everything even if you are tired. plan ahead and use the power points they provide to pick places. also the places that are not as crazy busy use to relax and hang with the group.
