Review

I spent the full academic year studying with CYA, and it was the greatest experience! Every staff member in the program truly cares about each student, which was new to me coming from a large university. We were housed in apartments around the neighborhood that CYA is located in, Pangrati, and CYA's housing coordinator is always willing to help with any problems that arise. They provided us with a delicious lunch every weekday, so it was very easy to grab a quick bite to eat between classes. One of my favorite parts of the program were the 3 field trips per semester that CYA took everyone on (included in the program!) to different regions of Greece. They were a great way to get to know other students and professors better, as well as see in person a lot of what we were learning in class. I couldn't recommend CYA enough!

Would you recommend this program?

Private Note to Provider (optional)
I think it would be a good idea to contact full-year students in advance letting them know that they may need to acquire a residence permit once in Greece, and let them know what documents are required. If possible, it would also be nice if CYA could set up a trip to the immigration office to start the process (possibly during orientation week).
