This experience was both my first time leaving America and studying abroad. It was the most life changing, unique and challenging experience I have ever had while in college. When we first got to Athens, I was amazed by how Greek people communicate and how different the driving and traffic is compared to Florida. The mountains were the first thing that caught my eye as we were getting out of the plane, they were breathtaking. And the streets and restaurants were so unique and the Greek food was so good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, I learned so much from Kambia program about refugees in Greece, the Greek business world, the financial debt crisis in Greece and much more. Even more, Dr. Rojas was the most wonderful professor I\u2019ve had and he helped each of us succeed in this business study abroad. He showed us he truly cared, taught us so much and guided us through this experience. Also, the team of students were incredible and we worked hard on the project to help our client and their business. We all supported each other and created friendships along the way. I will always cherish this study abroad and carry the lessons from it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
