Voices of Panthers Abroad<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I got SO MUCH for my money – two weeks abroad, hotels, flights and meals included \u2013 and saw so much \u2013 we swam on a beach, crawled in caves, swam in a waterfall, hiked the jungle, climbed pyramids and visited six archaeological sites. Plus, I gained so much knowledge from the class content itself. Great food, beautiful markets… I can’t recommend it enough!<\/p><\/blockquote>

“My advice to other students is to step a little outside of your comfort zone – you won’t be disappointed with the results. I had never been to Athens, or even Greece before, but I made a conscience effort to try and do things I wouldn’t normally do, which made the experience a million times better.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I see the world in a more beautiful way now. The Earth is unbelievably vast and there are so many different cultures and identities out there; it\u2019s a beautiful thing. I feel more outgoing and confident in myself too!<\/p><\/blockquote>
