Why NYC?

Why should I study abroad?

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do.
So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”

Mark Twain

This by far is the most important question you can ask yourself. Going overseas because your friends are should not necessarily be the only reason. Consider what you will learn from your experience abroad and how you can incorporate these skills into your career goals.

Why you should choose the NYC Study Abroad Program

Academic Enrichment A study-abroad experience will enhance your university education with a global perspective. Exposure to foreign languages, customs, and attitudes of people in another country will, ultimately, teach you more about your own culture. Personal Growth

Students who study abroad must leave comfortable surroundings and move into an entirely new environment without the support of family and friends. Although daunting, the benefits of this experience far outweigh any short term discomfiture resulting from separation, dislocation, and cultural “adjustment”.
Adjusting to their new life in a foreign country, students soon discover their own strengths and weaknesses and grow in self-awareness and self-confidence.

Career Benefits

International exposure gives college graduates a distinct competitive edge in the job market of today’s globalized economy. Interacting with classmates from different ethnic backgrounds teaches students the dynamics of cross-cultural interaction and an appreciation for cultural sensitivities – invaluable assets for future employees of multinational corporations, educational institutions, or government agencies.

A new view of the world

Trips within Greece and to the countries of the European Union, during or after the program, new tastes, relationships, outdoors, outlooks, will provide a different perspective on the world and a new insight of yourself.
