The best feature of UPCES classes was the large amount of foreign students. Being able to interact with them in and out of the classroom provided a whole new perspective for me.
The trips were so much fun! UPCES set us up with great lodging, put together fabulous tours, and made everything easy and accessible. The trips were a great way to see different parts of Central Europe while having fun with other students.
The classes were great! I loved learning about Prague through experiential learning. Learning happened not just in the classroom but by getting out into the city.
The staff is truly dedicated, unbelievably helpful, and soothed the transition to life in the Czech Republic a million times. Going abroad with UPCES is not getting dropped in a foreign country to attend classes; the staff really works to ensure that all aspects of your life in Prague are going well. I could not imagine a better staff!
The classes I took at UPCES were unique because of the ways they integrated the history, culture, and lesser known parts of Prague into the curriculum.
Independent housing is probably one of the best parts of this abroad program. Having to learn and live on your own was really the best way to assimilate. Getting lost 14 times trying to get to school, made the first time you successfully take a short cut all the more victorious!
UPCES trips were a blast! UPCES organized each entire trip, arranging lodging, transportation, tours, and authentic meals. We were also given ample free time to explore the destination on our own. Overall, the trips provided a great way to see much of Central Europe with our friends.
