The best decision I have ever made
by: Gabby Furnari - United StatesProgram: Summer Study Abroad in Greece with CYAStudying abroad as part of the CYA Summer program was the most incredible experience I could have asked for. My course was incredibly enriching with such a knowledgeable teacher who facilitated activities and experiences based on my class's desire to learn and adventure. I confidently explored cities I did not even know existed and got to see some of the most incredible sites, museums, artifacts, and views that will forever be a part of me now. The Pangrati neighborhood that we stayed in in Athe...

Best Experience Ever!
by: Emma Petersen - United StatesProgram: Summer Study Abroad in Greece with CYAI am so glad I got the opportunity to study abroad with CYA this past summer. My course was Tasting Culture: Mediterranean and Nordic Cuisine. We learned all about food, the culture that surrounds it, the discourses associated with different foods, and about ethnographic versus Instagrammable pictures. By living in Athens, you are surrounded by such a rich history in the Greek architecture of the Acropolis and the best Mediterranean food you could imagine. We also took a four-day trip to Ikaria,...

FGLI Experience
by: Riley Elliott - United StatesProgram: Summer Study Abroad in Greece with CYAMy time in Athens through CYA was an experience of a lifetime. I delved deeper into my passions, explored islands, and made memories I will never forget! The admins were very understanding when my flight was delayed and even accommodated for my late arrival. One of the best aspects of CYA is the cultural connection students experience from living in apartments in Pangrati!
Hi Riley, thanks for sharing your experience with CYA! We are so happy to hear you were able to make Athens your home and made local connections while living in Pangrati. We hope you can visit us again soon!

I love to travel. However, since I have a concentration in elementary and special education, I can not go abroad during the semester. Plus I wasn't sure I wanted to do that anyways due to the fact that I knew I would be very homesick and don't want to miss out on anything while I was away.

Going into college, I always knew I wanted to go abroad. I was never really able to travel much when I was growing up because of my athletic commitments, so I was always been itching for the opportunity to travel to a new place, experience a new culture, and learn a lot along the way!
