Study Abroad in Prague, Czech Republic with WorldStrides

I studied abroad in Prague, Czech republic, with ISA in Fall, 2025. I had an amazing time in Prague, the program and its staff were amazing and went above and beyond to give us a good experience in their country. ISA provided us with amazing housing, an apartment close to the city center, and free transportation passes so that we could go all around the city for free! We were also provided with any resources we could need, medical, academic, etc. I felt very comfortable with the staff and could tell that they wanted very much for everyone to just have the best time possible. In addition to the facilities we were provided, we had the opportunity to explore other parts of the continent, with hotels, food, tours and most fun of all getting to be with the rest of the program members and friends. The trips, both day and overnight were so fun and completely paid for. I would reccomend going in your program provides these events. My favorite places events that ISA created were, Vienna, Thanksgiving Dinner, Cesky Krumlov and Berlin :) I also had a great school Anglo american university; this school was very warm and welcoming, with small classes and lots of club events and even a garden full of peacocks in the back of the school it was very easy to make friends, even more so than my time at my home university. I am forever grateful to all of the ISA's staff; Daniela, Lucie, Yachim, and Tomas were so kind and helpful, I felt like they werent just staff but friends too. Im so happy that I got to experince this study abroad in Prague, and will forever miss the city, experiences and all of the friends i made there. I highly reccomend this program to everyone, and think that they should take full atvantage of what is offered, make as many friends as possible, make time both to travel and to appreciate the country they are in, and Cafe 80's, Cafe Alchimista, U sudu, U fleku, and eat beef goulash. This experience, made me grow and I came back happier, more confident and more open to the world and people around me :)

The 3 months I spent in Prague were genuinely the best 3 months of my life. Everything was sorted before we arrived and once we arrived at the airport we were taken to our accommodation. I lived in an apartment in Prague 3 with 2 other girls, and it was a great location. I know some other people in our program had a longer commute from across the river to get to classes, so I think I might have gotten lucky with the accomodation location. If I remember correctly, there was a cleaner who came in once a week. The place was fully furnished and stocked with a full kitchen. There were also transit passes (if you selected the option to have ISA organize it for you pre-arrival) waiting for us in our apartment on the kitchen table. The program also arranged a few excursions throughout the semester to Vienna, Austria, and other places in the Czech Republic. The only downside was that I went in the fall of 2021 which was still when many colleges weren’t sending students abroad due to COVID, so we mostly just had classes with other students from my college. I assume during non-COVID times, the classes have many other international students. I somehow ended up having 4 day weekends, so that allowed me to travel a lot, which was the best part of this experience. I mostly took marketing classes, but the class selection was limited because of the lower number of students studying abroad in the program due to COVID.

The city of Prague and my study abroad experience changed my life! I gained a newfound self-confidence and was able to understand my emotions and future goals in a way I never had before. The accommodations were amazing, and the apartment I stayed in was nicer than any place I could rent in the States. I will be going back and I so very thankful for this experience!
