Panrimo did a fine job of placing me in one of the best schools I have been to for studying another language. It was a very affordable program, which was great! It was intense yet fun and relaxing and I learned a lot. My host family was very kind and sweet and to this day I still communicate with her. I made many new friends from all around the world there and I continue to talk with them as well. I was the only American in the class, which made it even more interesting so I am thankful for that because I learned so much more by speaking French with everyone. It is a great program and I would definitely recommend it to anyone searching for a great program to study French.
Panrimo was a great way to study abroad in Europe if you want to be independent and explore on your own. They gave us the lay of the land and then let us go off and find things for ourselves, which I prefer over a program that schedules everything for you. If you are independent this is the program for you!
Panrimo made my summer study abroad trip to Paris a great experience. They were always quick to respond to the thousands of questions I had. The multiple ways to contact Panrimo helped with this quick response. I used e-mail, phone, FaceBook and most effectively Skype. Paul even met with me at my school before the trip to tell me about some of the best places in the city. By the time I left I felt that Panrimo had prepared me in every way that I could think of. Upon arrival in Paris I was led to the studio flat that I would be living in and the first thing that I noticed was that there was a view of the Eiffel Tower from the main window. Throughout the summer program Panrimo stayed in contact with me and continued to answer any questions I had. The American Business School of Paris where I studied challenged me intellectually and helped me think on a global scale not just on an American one. Overall Panrimo was the right choice because they were there when I needed direction. Paris was an amazing place to live and study because of the history and culture. Don't forget to try a Nutella Crepe while you are there!
After five weeks in Buenos Aires, I know I made the right choice. At first I was hesitant; I'm going during their winter? In reality, it doesn't matter whether it's slightly chilly or hot beyond belief - you will experience a culture that is open and friendly. The internship that Panrimo set me up with has been amazing and works perfectly with my goals, and the school where I'm taking Spanish classes is great! I've met so many diverse people, and because I stayed with a host family, I've been able to practice my Spanish at home. I only have three weeks left, but I've fallen in love with this city and the people. I only wish I could stay longer to experience everything this city has to offer!
Panrimo was great! The staff and local correspondence person, Nadia, were always helpful and made sure everything was going well and that I was having fun. There was only one instance where on the excursion to Champagne region that the hotel wasn't paid for prior and I had to pay it at checkout, but this was not an issue; I got reimbursed very fast and without an issue. One of the classes I took, Art, Creativity, and Entrepreneurship, was an Art History class and I was expecting to learn more about the business/entrepreneurship aspect rather than the fact that the artists were entrepreneurs. But still in all the class was decent. I must say it was one of my favorite summers.
Being given the opportunity to study abroad was something that I will always cherish. When choosing a destination, I was looking for a program that offered courses directly correlated to my major, a site that I could see myself going to, and most importantly affordability. I knew that I would need some help getting everything finalized before my departure, but also wanted the opportunity to figure things out on my own. Panrimo was a good balance of those two mediums. I never found myself waiting around for a response to a question or hoping to hear back from an email that was never received by a real person. Panrimo was there with me, guiding me from the moment I filled out my application, to the moment I stepped off the plane after returning home. That kind of dedication was greatly appreciated. For anyone looking to have a great experience not just during the program, but planning it too, I would recommend Panrimo.
Study abroad in Prague, Czech Republic through the Panrimo program is one of the most life changing and profound experiences that I have ever had. The four months that I spent in Prague were wonderful and full of new experiences that I carry with me everyday. The people I meet were from all parts of the world and opened my eyes to so many things. I'm still friends with many of my foreign classmates from Prague and talk to them once or twice a week over Facebook. I also traveled to 11 amazing cities and got to experience the best of Europe. The Panrimo program was great because they allowed me to create my own experience and have the freedom to try new things on my own. This freedom really allowed me to grow while abroad. Panrimo was there when I needed them to be but also knew when to let me be on my own. The program through Panrimo is also substantially cheaper than other study abroad programs and helped me save my dollars for my own traveling. Panrimo in Prague, Czech Republic is a great program and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to make their own unique experience and take their study abroad experience into their own hands.
I would not have been able to study abroad without the help of Panrimo's staff and affordable programming. They opened up for me, literally, a whole new world of possibilities. The program in Argentina that I participated in helped me to not only learn about Latin America in the classroom, but offered enough space for personal growth, development, and discovery, as well.
Panrimo made me entirely comfortable for my first trip abroad. I received literature and emails on a regular basis from them and was encouraged to ask questions (which I had a lot of). I was impressed by how much was taken care of for me and how the information I received in the final packet touched on things like what was culturally appropriate in that part of the world and places around town that were worth seeing. Stirling University offered a wide range of choices for classes and the program had multiple day trips planned for students. There were optional packages you could purchase that the University recommended which is how I ended up going to the Isle of Skye for four days which was one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen. Panrimo was affordable, entirely accessible, and there to help make my experience suited to me. Scotland was the most memorable and eye opening experience I've had thus far in my life thanks to Panrimo.
I had such a great time studying in Argentina! Tony was incredibly helpful and worked tirelessly to ensure we had a pleasant stay. I definitely believe in what these guys are trying to do, make study abroad more affordable, rewarding, and attainable for the average student. I felt proud to be a Panroamer!
Panrimo really did a fine job preparing me for my time abroad. I never stopped hearing from them and if I needed any help filling out my paper work or had any questions, they were always doing their best to help me. I flew into Scotland and was studying in Sunderland, England, so needless to say I needed a way to get to Sunderland. They arranged to have someone pick me up from the airport, that I had already talked to on Facebook and made the whole situation very comfortable and convenient for me. They checked up on me throughout my time abroad and honestly cared about my well-being. I would highly recommend Panrimo to anyone is thinking about spending time aborad. They are helpful and actually care about you and your experience.
If you are interested in a short summer abroad program, this was truly the best one to pick from, especially if you're interested in checking out the ENTIRE continent of Australia. Going through Panrimo was the best and most affordable option out there, students in my group on this same program paid twice as much as I did and didn't get anything more than what I got. Panrimo was fast and very helpful working with me. The Australian Experience really was a great opportunity and I feel it made a large impact on my life. We were able to tour almost the ENTIRE continent, checking out numerous locations, and learning so much. We studied culture, geology, ecology, and some history. Sounds boring? NO! It was so exciting because everything was hands on. We saw the iconic land marks, such as the Sydney Harbor Bridge, the Sydney Opera House, Uluru/Ayers Rock, the city of Darwin, and much more. It was honestly the best experience of my life and I'm so glad I had the chance to go. I highly reccommend this program to anyone who wants to do a short abroad program over the summer and not be gone an entire academic semester.
