I had an amazing experience

I loved studying abroad in Maastricht. The town is picturesque, the classes were engaging, and the travel opportunities were countless. The PBL education system fit the classes I was taking perfectly, and I loved discussing literature and economics with my peers (who were mostly international students). I also traveled to 8 countries, both through my own planning and also through the CES official trips that are part of the programs. I saw the Eiffel tower in Paris, ate paella in Barcelona, and "saw" Nessie in Scotland. Despite traveling around Europe, I loved the small-town feel of Maastricht, and it definitely felt like home by the end of my trip.
