ISA in Prague, Czech Republic
Location
Czech Republic: Prague
Description
Prague rests along the banks of the Vltava River, and has been the political, cultural, and economic hotspot of Eastern Europe for over 1000 years. With over 1.2 million inhabitants in the city proper, and a constant flow of international travelers exploring the city, Prague is a bustling capital of global importance. Since 1992, Prague has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and with good reason: the city is an unaltered, hands-on museum, full of famous theatres and opera houses, open parks with political protest history, and centuries-old buildings converted into late-night discothèques. The galling years of communist rule linger in the minds of Czechs, and striking up conversation on the subject brings out a history and culture lesson that could only be learned from the source itself.
Highlights
ISA Prague students will enjoy small class sizes with fellow ISA classmates. Courses are taught by Charles University professors in a classroom location on Thakurova street in Prague 6. This is an upscale area of town where many local students reside and attend classes at several Charles University faculties located in the area.
