It was such an amazing trip and I’m so glad I got to go on it. I say that everyone so try out for it. You never know you might just go to Europe. So all in all always try out for it you have such a amazing time
I learned so much about the countries I went to, but I learned even more about myself! I honestly was not prepared for the magnificence of that side of the world, and I am so grateful that I had the opportunity to travel with Bethel. It was the most amazing experience, and I could not have asked for a better program or chaperone to guide me the entire time!
This trip has taught me so many things. It has taught me to never shy away from an opportunity. It has taught me to be more empathetic and understanding of others. But most importantly it has brought me friends I will cherish for the rest of my life.
I had so much fun. Learning and having fun but most importantly I got to open up my mind and see what the world has to offer. After some time I got used to the same routine everyday and I feel like this trip made me step out of what am used to and be a better person with better mentality and different plans
An unforgettable experience! Well-planned, educational, and inspiring, Bethel University’s Study Abroad program exceeded every expectation. The memories and friendships will last a lifetime. A special thank you to Stacie Freeman, whose exceptional planning, organization, and attention to every detail made this trip seamless and stress-free. Her dedication, leadership, and genuine care for every traveler truly made this an experience we will never forget. I highly recommend this program to anyone considering studying abroad!

I loved going on the 2026 trip to Western Europe! It was amazing and helped me become more confident in myself and my abilities. I have learned how to navigate foreign countries and areas in which I know little about, which is very useful for my future. All of the food was delicious, and the experience was top-notch! I loved Europe, it was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience that I will never forget!
