Student Testimonials

"It’s like going back into Greek life and re-living history."

"It teaches you not only history, but about yourself as well."

"One of the better things that I have done in my life. The program was very educating and fulfilling. The experiences of the excursions are impeccable."

"I think this has been one of the greatest experiences I have had at UCLA."

"I met so many people I never would have during the school year. I learned so much and had so many new experiences."

Scott Rubin: "Where the ancient city of Mycenae stood, only the ruins of its citadel stand today. It was just unbelievable to stand there on that skyline that I’d seen in so many of my Greek history books."

"I think you get the most for your money on this trip."

Juliet Kim: "I liked Ephesus and the Parthenon. They kind of captured the essence of the civilization. From the hotel we could see the Parthenon across the way. I liked Ephesus because almost a whole city was preserved there. It had both Greek culture and Roman culture. And, you could touch it. People could walk over everything. We had some interesting moments."

"It was great. I had an amazing time."

"This program was educationally superb!"
