Study Abroad Student Comments
 | “Out of all the typical European countries I could have studied in, I'm so happy that I chose the atypical place to study because it gave me a firsthand look into a preserved and authentic culture and allowed me to see how others view education and the world.” - Madeline Motton, North Central College |
 | "The program's balance between academics, cultural education, and social events allowed me to do well in my classes but also to explore a fascinating culture while meeting truly friendly and generous people from all over the world" - Jillian Dubuisson, McGill University |
 | "All of you have exceeded my expectations. From the students at DEREE, the study abroad group, to the staff: thank you for fostering a home. The hospitality, generosity, and Greek spirit overwhelmed me in a good way. The respect I have for the Greeks will never change." - Katherine Frangos, Lesley University |
From one of our parents… “Like all parents, I am very concerned about my children’s education and future happiness. In today’s world of ‘globalization’ it is imperative that all children have a wide understanding of other cultures, economies and social issues if they are to succeed in their life endeavors. My daughter’s experience at The American College of Greece (ACG) provided not just academic advancement, but a ‘life experience’ that she will never forget.” “The friends she made, the courses she pursued, and the memories she has, are all inspirational. The semester spent at ACG has provided both of us with a sense of accomplishment and happiness that will last a lifetime!” - Jim Frangos, father of Katherine Frangos, study abroad student from Lesley University |
 | “Studying abroad in Greece was a great experience. Not only did I get to go explore the main sites of Greece and soak in the culture, I also formed friendships with a variety of people from all over of the U.S. and the world. I was able to take a variety of classes that expanded and changed my way of thinking about the world, something that I would not have obtained while studying in the States.” - Brooke Lucht, North Central College |
“As far as my experience went this past semester, it was truly an excellent opportunity to experience and participate in another culture, learn the language, the food, and the general way of life. Being at DEREE was an incredible learning experience that expanded my knowledge of my heritage.” - Tommy D. Tzivanis, International Student from Syracuse, New York |
 | “The study abroad experience was both life changing and unforgettable.” - Vanessa
Jacobson, Lesley University |
 | “Life without Greece would be like a rainbow without red. Its capricious climate embodies the vigor, warmth and uncompromising passion the people here are inseparable from. Much can be said in this vein about my experience in the ACG dormitories. They house a thriving community of young, open-minded individuals that make the time fly by and me wish college could last forever!” - Amir Kolmanic, International Student from Murska Sobota, Slovenia |
 | "Studying in Greece gave me a chance to have my eyes opened to other cultures from around the world. My experiences did not stop there though, as I was able to meet many amazing people, see beautiful places, and experience more than I could have thought possible." - Joe Siemianowski, North Central College |
“One of the benefits of studying in Greece is that all the ruins you are learning or have learned about are right there at your fingertips. It definitely made a difference to actually see the ruins we were learning about in my History of Ancient Greece class in person. You are able to gain a different perspective that you would not be able to by just sitting in a classroom.” - Christina Macropoulos, Clemson University |
