While multi-country study abroad programs are available all across the globe, each placement comes with a different set of people, food, landscapes, and learning experiences.

Europe is one of the most popular regions to do a multi-country study abroad program because there is so much culture tightly packed together. Students full of joie de vivre can easily score double-digit passport stamps soaking in the art and history hopping from coastal cities in Spain all the way to the Louvre in Paris. Indulge in cheese fondue in Switzerland and end practicing your Italian skills over gelato in Rome in your free time.

Central America is another compact area of the world where borders are just a hop, skip, and a jump away. A multi-country study abroad program could start with a week in Nicaragua, and end with a stay in Guatemala or Costa Rica. As the getaway paradise of the world, it won’t be difficult to indulge in vacation views and activities to break up classes. Even jet over to the Caribbean for some island hopping mon!

Southeast Asia has everything from developing countries to hip, modern cities. Begin your free time feasting on some of the best (and cheapest!) seafood, riding bicycles through French-inspired streets, or fall in love with tropical beaches, yummy curries, and incense-filled Buddhist temples. There are plenty of picturesque opportunities in Thailand that should be included on any traveler’s bucket list, while Cambodia gives students the option to hike through Angkor Wat, and Vietnam students can visit Hanoi and Halong Bay all in one program!
