The experience of my life!

As my first time out of the country, I would say that I wouldn’t change it for the world! Everyone was so welcoming and friendly and I learned so much from my program. This program helped solidify my decision on graduate school. Overall, CYA made me grow personally and professionally!

Karystos Greece

A truly transformative experience

I did the Summer Session I program from May-June 2025. I had never been out of the country before, let alone on my own. I was nervous, but the CYA program and my class made the experience absolutely amazing. My class, taught by professor Eve Geroulis, became incredibly close very quickly, and we took many field trips to do hands-on ethnographic research and be immersed in Greek culture. This program pushed me out of my comfort zone in the best way possible, and I will forever be grateful!

Best Summer Ever!

I learned so much about myself and about Greek culture while on this program. We had a lot of freedom to explore our own interests and get closer with our cohort, so I never felt bogged down with work and I was able to learn about many events with my own drive. I like that we had the independence to discover Greece with the built in support system of CYA. Both of my classes were very informative, transportation was always easy, and the schedule was perfect- not too overbearing, not too loose.

I love to travel. However, since I have a concentration in elementary and special education, I can not go abroad during the semester. Plus I wasn't sure I wanted to do that anyways due to the fact that I knew I would be very homesick and don't want to miss out on anything while I was away.

Going into college, I always knew I wanted to go abroad. I was never really able to travel much when I was growing up because of my athletic commitments, so I was always been itching for the opportunity to travel to a new place, experience a new culture, and learn a lot along the way!
