I am currently on my 5th week with verto in Prague and I am loving it! Prague is a beautiful city with so many activities to do. I've met the coolest people from all around the world and everyone has been super kind and welcoming. The staff is also extremely helpful and helped make the transition coming here very smooth. I would highly recommend for anybody not sure what they want to do for college or are considering a gap year.

Best Experience ever!

I chose Verto Education Prague to start my first semester of college and it’s honestly one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. It’s allowed me to come out of my shell so much and meet so many new people. Not only can I study and start college courses but I can also immerse myself into a whole new culture. The staff is also amazing, very easy to reach, and always supportive. My favorite part of the program however is the ability to travel it gives you. I can go to class during the week and then travel somewhere new on the weekends. Honestly, the best decision I could’ve made for myself.

Best decision ever

When I first heard about Verto, I was kind of skeptical. Not only was I promised a study abroad experience, it was relatively cheap compared to other programs. That has to be a scam right? Wrong! I am currently 3 weeks or so into my semester in Prague and I am loving it so far. The food is amazing, the culture is strong, and college feels like a breeze. The professors are extremely kind and passionate about what they teach which makes class so much more interesting and engaging. Verto staff are always nearby in case of an emergency. If you want to travel the world, Verto is the way to go. You starts off small and have the ability to make connections across the globe while also gaining college credits and inside knowledge about different cultures.

Study abroad in Prague

I studied abroad in Prague in the Fall of 2022 and I had such a good time. Prague is a beautiful and underrated city and it is a great and popular destination for study abroad students. They have such a rich history and culture and it was so different from everyday life in the US. We studied at a previously existing university in the heart of the city which made everything super easy and convenient and our professors were great. Even though there are somewhat limited course offerings, I loved all the classes I took especially because of the focus on experiential learning. We also went on two overnight excursions to other towns in Czech Republic and did really fun activities like cave spelunking. The 3.5 months went by so fast because I made great friendships and there is so much to do with Verto and on your own. I would definitely recommend Prague!
