WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE CLASS WHILE ABROAD, AND WHY?

I loved all of my classes. I took two mythology classes, a Greek language class, an ancient history class, and a philosophy class. I thoroughly enjoyed each one for different reasons however, I really enjoyed joining the Philosophy society at the school and most meetings were held just before my philosophy class. It was fun because there weren't many Americans in the society, probably only around 2% of the society were American with the rest being mostly Greek and then some other, this allowed me to observe and engage in the social differences in Greece.

HOW DID YOU ENGAGE WITH THE LOCAL COMMUNITY WHILE ABROAD?

I frequently was out at local cafes and shops, and always making an effort to practice my Greek while speaking to them. I also made Greek friends and went to festivals and celebrated the Greek holidays.
