This study abroad program comes with courses that offer interesting insight into the Korean language, religion, philosophy, economics, politics, and business.

Seoul is also home to numerous IT corporations and is emerging as one of the world’s most 'wired' cities. Such is its contrast to a nation with over 70% deep valleys and rugged mountain ranges in the eastern regions, along with a coastline featuring some of the world’s highest tides and dotted with bays. Korea’s eastern beaches are sandy, while the western side consists mainly of rocky shores and mudflats.

College Year in Athens (CYA) Semester Abroad Experience

December 11, 2025by: Lily Simolon - United StatesProgram: Study Abroad in Greece with CYA (Semester/Academic Year)
10

I had a great study abroad experience through CYA. The program offers a great mix of academics, cultural immersion, social events, and incorporated travel into the semester. One of the main highlights from my time in Greece is the CYA Field Studies. These field studies are trips across Greece and abroad, in which transportation and housing are covered by CYA, and are centered around different academic topics. A couple of the trips that I got to go on included journeys to Olympia and Delphi, the island of Crete, the Peloponnese, and Naples, Italy. These trips guided by CYA professor provided me a greater understanding of Greek culture and history, while also providing a great opportunity to connect with fellow classmates and form new friendships. Additionally, the location of CYA academic buildings and student apartments are in a great neighborhood. With all housing between 3-10 minutes away from classroom buildings, the area is very safe and easy to walk around. Furthermore, the academic building is directly adjacent to the Olympic Stadium! Overall my experience CYA was beyond what I could have imagined and would recommend this program to anyone interested in immersing oneself in a new culture and explore the beauty and history of Greece.
