Duke University Office of Study Abroad

Dear Global Education Office:

This picture was taken on the island of Santorini, where the magnificent sunset is witnessed by hundreds of visitors each day. I almost can't believe that I am the one who took this breathtaking picture.

Duke in Greece was one of the most magical experiences of my life. To me, the program was centered on three parts: a brilliant class in Ancient Philosophy, a tour of Classical Greek sites by the most amazing tour guide, and a great personal experience of the relaxed but enthusiastic Greek way of life.

Because I am an engineering major, I didn't apply for the program to fulfill a requirement. However, the broader perspective on the world I gained from the experience will last with me forever. I got to know the Greek culture from its past to present, making a better global citizen.

Duke in Greece is for those who want to see the great edifices of the ancients and the great mountains and seas of Greece, to step out of a normal environment and take a peek at a different world, to make truly great friendships, to be mesmerized the entire way along, and to have a memory of a lifetime. I would recommend the program to anyone.
