Amazing country–amazing city–amazing university

by: Alexander Karris - United StatesProgram: Study Abroad with American College of Thessaloniki

I studied abroad in Spring 2019, and had an eye opening experience. As a Greek, being in Thessaloniki, the city my dad grew up in, gave me a unique opportunity to connect with my roots. I also have many family members there, whom I was able to spend more quality time with. The city itself is full of life. Wonderful restaurants, bars, cafes, and night clubs made for an action packed night life. ACT itself is a gorgeous campus, up in the mountains, away from the city. The free shuttle bus ride th...

Absolutely unforgettable experience

Going into my sophomore year I had no intention of going abroad. As the semester progressed more and more of my peers were deciding that going abroad is a once and a life time opportunity and although they were going for a semester I knew exactly what I wanted to do. I did not necessarily want to miss a whole semester so I went searching; narrowing down the potential places I wanted to go. I finally made a decision that would change my life for ever: Going to Greece. Everything about thi...

Most incredible 5 weeks of my life

I was lucky enough to be able to study abroad at ACT for 5 weeks in the summer of 2018. The group from my school consisted of 10 people who really didn't know each other at all when we left but felt like best friends when we returned. We took the same classes, did the same service-learning activities (Service-learning was an amazing opportunity in and of itself!) and went on the same excursions together. We quickly bonded due to the little things like playing cards in a hotel room in Ioannina or...

I wanted to step away from my routine and see what was outside of my little bubble. I have always been fascinated by people and cultures, so the chance to step outside of my own to learn and grow was something really attractive to me. My sister had studied abroad in college, and I saw the impact the experience had on her. I wanted to see what it was all about.

It has always been a dream of mine to study abroad since I was little, so it was never out of the question whether I would go or not. I am very curious about other places and different cultures and histories that I want to experience them all!

Way before I started studying at Albion College, I knew I wanted to travel and learn about the world outside my hometown bubble. At Albion, it seemed to be common that students went abroad and that it was easy to do so. I knew I wanted to go abroad, but the where and when wasn't exactly set yet. As I went through the motions of school until I figured out what exactly it was I wanted to do, I started looking for programs that offered courses in my major. I also began to become very antsy to get out of college town, hometown (well, really I wanted to get out of the country in general). I knew there was more to see and learn beyond what I was exposed to everyday. It was a now or never situation for me, so when the opportunity presented itself, I took it.
