1 Spring 2018 Odyssey in Athens Testimonials Coming to Greece for school will forever be one of my favorite experiences. Having the opportunity to explore where my family is from, meeting family I ve never met before, and learning so much more about my culture has been so wonderful. The Greek Cuisine and Elementary Modern Greek classes gave me even more of a chance to immerse myself within the Greek culture. I have met some great people here, and will never forget the memories I have made! «Σ αγαπáω Ελλáδα!» (I love you Greece!) Karen Bazakos, Junior Hospitality Management student, University of Massachusetts Amherst (Photo of Karen is on the Greek island of Poros during the Odyssey in Athens excursion to this island.) It was valuable to see up close the culture that influenced so much of the modern world and draw comparisons between the Greek culture and my own culture. It changed the way I see many aspects of my own culture. Troy Lugar, Junior Computer Science student at Washington & Jefferson College (Photo of Troy is on the beautiful Greek island of Santorini.)

2 My favorite part about the Odyssey in Athens program was the ability to travel independently outside of the country to other parts of Europe. Since Athens is not much different than some American cities, the culture shock was relatively non-existent. Nicole Montanaro, Junior, Environmental Studies student at University of Buffalo, SUNY (Photo of Nicole is in Monemvasia, Peleponnese during the Odyssey in Athens excursion.) I wanted to study abroad somewhere a little different, other than somewhere like France or Germany, so I chose Greece. Whenever someone would hypothetically ask where I wanted to go, I always dreamt of Greece and it s literally a dream come true. I loved being able to learn this fascinating language and visit ancient historical sites on excursions. I met some amazing people through Odyssey in Athens and saw gorgeous parts of this country. Emma Oroxom, Sophomore Spanish and Political Science student, Washington & Jefferson College (Photo of Emma is on the Greek island of Hydra during the Odyssey in Athens excursion.)

3 Over my four months in Greece I have had my ups and downs, but the ups definitely outweighed the downs. It s a great experience having to adjust to a new culture and live and learn with it for a good amount of time. I will always remember my time here in Greece and everything I learned here, I will take home with me. Michael Calisto, Junior Accounting student, Sacred Heart University (Photo of Mike is on the beautiful Greek island of Santorini.) I fell in love with Greece! The energy, the music, and the gorgeous scenery! Webster University Athens faculty has been one of my all time favorite experiences of study abroad. I will never forget them! Alexis Cupp, Junior Philosophy and Economics student at Goucher College (Photo of Alexis is at Temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounio during school trip.)

4 I truly enjoyed my study abroad experience in Athens. I was able to travel to amazing places throughout Greece and Europe. One of my favorite experiences was the community service class which gave me the chance to work at a refugee center and a sea turtle rescue center. Kira Weilerstein, Junior Psychology student, Goucher College (Photo of Kira is in Meteora, Greece.) I had a wonderful experience in Greece. The entire country is absolutely beautiful and offers a new perspective. The best part was being able to volunteer for refugee organizations in such a stressful political time. I was able to witness much more than at home. Brooke Nelson, Sophomore International Relations student, Webster University (Photo of Brooke is at Temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounio.)

5 Studying abroad in Athens, Greece was a once in a lifetime experience. I got the opportunity to travel all over Europe and really experience different cultures. I also got the chance to volunteer at a sea turtle rescue center which was awesome! I have made memories here that I will remember forever! Emily Steen, Junior Environmental Studies student at University of Buffalo, SUNY (Photo of Emily is in Plaka, the historic section of Athens, near Webster Athens facilities.) What really stood out for me was how many people spoke English here. The views are stunning, transportation to different places and countries was relatively cheap, and I made new friends. I also finally got to say, I made it to Greece, being of Greek descent. Grant Chimples, Junior Business student at Trine University (Photo of Grant is at the Acropolis during the Odyssey in Athens field trip.)

6 Overall, the experience I had here was fun and important to me. I was able to reconnect with family I haven t seen since I was young and made many new friends, as well. This was an amazing way to finish off my college career and the classes and professors were fun and informative. Highly suggest the Greek Cuisine course! Cynthia Klock, Senior Sociology student, SUNY Potsdam (Photo of Cindy is on the beautiful island of Rhodes.) My time and experience in Greece was life changing! I was able to put myself into a completely different culture from my own. During my time here I was fortunate enough to give back through community service and volunteer work at the refugee center and sea turtle rescue center. My volunteer work, in addition to the excursions that Webster s Odyssey in Athens program took us on were things I thought I d never be able to do ever in my life. My time with Webster Athens was amazing and absolutely unforgettable! I LOVE Greece! Danielle Pinto, Junior Business Administration and Marketing student at Marist College (Photo of Danielle is in Mycenae during the Odyssey in Athens excursion.)

7 Thank you Webster Athens for giving me the opportunity to come to Greece and let me get to know my Greek roots! Athens will always have a place in my heart! Ariane Manolopoulos, Junior Painting and Art History student from SUNY New Paltz (Photo of Ariane is on the balcony of her university apartment in the Monastiraki/Plaka area, a couple blocks from the Webster Athens facilities.)
