The RAS

Alexa and Adria were amazing all semester they were the best RAs. Although it was a little annoying not having any curtains upon arriving I had no shower curtain no toilet paper and no curtain on my balcony so I had to go out and buy all of that after a extremely long travel day

Amazing country–amazing city–amazing university

I studied abroad in Spring 2019, and had an eye opening experience. As a Greek, being in Thessaloniki, the city my dad grew up in, gave me a unique opportunity to connect with my roots. I also have many family members there, whom I was able to spend more quality time with. The city itself is full of life. Wonderful restaurants, bars, cafes, and night clubs made for an action packed night life. ACT itself is a gorgeous campus, up in the mountains, away from the city. The free shuttle bus ride that ACT provides to campus from student housing is convenient and WAY better than the public transportation. ACT also would also order study abroad students a taxi if a small number of students had later classes and couldn't make the shuttle. The admins and other study abroad facilitators really take care of their study abroad students.

Most incredible 5 weeks of my life

I was lucky enough to be able to study abroad at ACT for 5 weeks in the summer of 2018. The group from my school consisted of 10 people who really didn't know each other at all when we left but felt like best friends when we returned. We took the same classes, did the same service-learning activities (Service-learning was an amazing opportunity in and of itself!) and went on the same excursions together. We quickly bonded due to the little things like playing cards in a hotel room in Ioannina or taking the 45-minute boat ride to the beach after class. I not only bonded with the 9 other kids from my school but also so many other kids from schools all around the US and Canada. On one hand, this trip was a little taste of the relaxing laid-back culture of Greece, while at the same time it was a non-stop adventure that pushed us to be greater students, workers, and friends. If I could go back and do it again, but this time for a whole semester, I would.

    I wanted to step away from my routine and see what was outside of my little bubble. I have always been fascinated by people and cultures, so the chance to step outside of my own to learn and grow was something really attractive to me. My sister had studied abroad in college, and I saw the impact the experience had on her. I wanted to see what it was all about.

    It has always been a dream of mine to study abroad since I was little, so it was never out of the question whether I would go or not. I am very curious about other places and different cultures and histories that I want to experience them all!

    Way before I started studying at Albion College, I knew I wanted to travel and learn about the world outside my hometown bubble. At Albion, it seemed to be common that students went abroad and that it was easy to do so. I knew I wanted to go abroad, but the where and when wasn't exactly set yet. As I went through the motions of school until I figured out what exactly it was I wanted to do, I started looking for programs that offered courses in my major. I also began to become very antsy to get out of college town, hometown (well, really I wanted to get out of the country in general). I knew there was more to see and learn beyond what I was exposed to everyday. It was a now or never situation for me, so when the opportunity presented itself, I took it.
