Webster University Athens

This program is one that I will never forget, not just because of the opportunities I had to learn and grow both personally and culturally, but also because of the people I met. You come into this program as one person and leave as a completely different one. One thing that makes Webster Athens special is how tight knit the community is. I loved being a part of a program where the staff and students got along so well and genuinely supported one another. The apartments are in a great location, with very easy access to stores and the metro. The program also includes excursions to several locations around Greece, like Delphi, Nafplio, Epidaurus, etc., and I highly recommend not missing these getaways. They are an amazing way to see more of the country alongside your fellow study abroad peers and these short trips were certainly a highlight for me.

This was my second study abroad program, and I speak so highly of this program whenever I get the chance. A great community, living situation, kind staff, and you really dive into the Greek experience with guidance from Dina and the other mentors! Best 4 months ever, I met some of my best friends here and still talk to them to this day.

My semester abroad with Webster in Greece was a shared odyssey with my wife, Paola, made extraordinary by Dina, our activities coordinator. Her blend of Greek hospitality and skill didn’t just schedule events—she built a bridge to the soul of the country. With Paola by my side, Dina’s activities became our social heartbeat. From awe at Meteora to fumbling with filo dough in cooking class, we explored as a team. Dina transformed strangers into a community, mixing iconic sights with authentic local gems we’d never have found alone. Living there as a couple gave us unique stability. Paola turned a solo study journey into a “we” adventure, with a home base to process everything together. We left with more than credits: a deep appreciation for Greece, international friends, and a treasure trove of shared memories. The program provided the framework, Dina the heartbeat, and Paola the shared soul.
