Wonderful Spring I at ACT

I spent the 2025 Spring I semester at ACT, and it was an amazing experience. I was able to take courses related to my major and courses that were completely unrelated (including Sea Sailing). I was also able to take Beginning Greek, the professor is super nice, and it really helped with acclimating to the country. There were several clubs to choose from as well. The ones I attended were led by staff, and they were very high quality. The city itself is also fun to explore, and there are many opportunities where the program takes you to explore Thessaloniki, as well as other towns in Greece. In terms of student population, a lot of the full-time students are also international from nearby countries, and there were ~200 students from the US while I was there. Housing is separate from the local students, so the US students live together across several locations. A bus came twice in the morning to pick us up and twice in the afternoon/night to bring us back. I'd say one of the best things about the program is that we had awesome RAs at our dorms that were really supportive and available. Overall, highly recommend!
