Get the absolute most out of their time abroad
February 08, 2026by: Darcy GillespieProgram: Fall Term 1 in Europe
I had an amazing experience on the term 3 Kingdoms trip to western Europe in 2019. The MEI community and teachers are very supportive and helped everyone get the absolute most out of their time abroad! Definitely recommend.
Partaking in this MEI trip changed my life
January 18, 2026by: Jayne BartelsProgram: Fall Term 1 in Europe
I was a student on the Europe: Kingdoms trip 2 years ago. At first, I was quite nervous about travelling with a group of people I never met before but before I knew it I felt like we were family! I can honestly say that partaking in this MEI trip changed my life and I met some truly amazing people. I loved learning outside of a traditional classroom and exploring the beautiful cities we visited during our free time. The teachers who accompanied us on the trip were extremely supportive in both academics and personal issues. I came back from my MEI experience feeling more confident in myself and had a more positive attitude overall. I highly recommend MEI and I will never forget the amazing memories our group made together.
Such an immersive experience!

I’d never been so engaged with course material before going abroad with MEI. There’s something special about feeling physically connected to the things you are learning. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and I would recommend to anyone who is considering!
