Thomas from the University of Michigan wrote after the spring 2007 semester, "The quality of my professors in Geneva was excellent.  From European Politics to Economics, the well-taught courses expanded my knowledge of interesting topics pertinent to my study-abroad experience. And my professors weren't only there for academics-they also extended their kindness outside of the classroom.  I'll never forget visiting my French professor in his Swiss chalet."

Kent State's Anna said of her spring 2007 in Geneva, "The semester I spent in Geneva has changed me in ways I couldn't have imagined.  It has changed how I view others and how I view myself.  Not a day goes by that I don't look back fondly on my time spent abroad.  Thank you for the wonderful opportunity."  Anna ►

Erin of Tulane from the spring '07 class said, "Being back at school just makes how amazing the semester in Geneva was more apparent.  Given the opportunity would go back in a second!"

Kent State's Tyler, an alum from spring 2006 wrote us in January 2008 and  said, "Kent State University's Geneva Semester allows students the opportunity to become immersed in a community of international thought.  Without the internships and groups discussion, student would not be able to grow beyond the academic level."

Meghan from Tufts said this about spring 2007 in Geneva, "I want to extend my gratitude to you for all your efforts in organizing the most amazing semester I'll ever have.  I am so happy I chose to go with Kent State, it made my experience that much better.  I'll keep in touch."

Still missing Geneva, Evan, Bowdoin College, Spring 2005

I for one learned a great deal of independence from my semester in Geneva.  I also broadened my horizons to study and research way beyond the borders of what I HAD TO DO.  I will never forget my months there. Brit, KSU, Spring 2003

I had an amazing semester, thanks so much for your work in making that happen!  Julie, Tufts University, fall 2005

Although I' am currently swimming deep in applications, final papers, thoughts for post-graduate plans . . . I always look back at my experience in Switzerland to calm me down.  More so than anything else, the trip has triggered a thirst for knowledge and understanding of the world/people in it.  Rosa, University of Illinois - Champaign Urbana, spring 2005

My time in Geneva was possibly the best time of my life - I wouldn't trade it for anything.  I learned so much on that trip - a lot from the classroom but even more from my travels.  The people I met and the experiences I had will stay with me for the rest of my life.  I think every student should study abroad at some point in their college career.  Matt, Southern Methodist University, spring 2005

Duke University's Craig wrote recently about his fall 2003 experience:  On a personal note, I would like to thank everyone at Kent State for putting together such a great opportunity.  The Geneva Program was an incredibly important experience in my own personal and academic development.  It also brought together students from all over the country. 

Regina a graduate of Yale University and Spring 1996 alum wrote us in May 2005 and said,
I was just remembering my experience and have such fond memories . . . I learned so much about international relations, human rights and the political issues facing communities and cultures across the globe.  Visiting the UN and so many other international organizations across Europe was incredible.  I did my internship at the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, which was excellent.  I also met with leaders in the fight against HIV at the WHO and had the chance to sit in on session of the Human Rights Commission at the U.N.  To this day, people in my life are amazed at some of the opportunities I had in Geneva.  Anyway, I just wanted to say thanks and keep up the great work throughout this program  It was a life-changing experience.

I wanted to thank you so so so so much for this invaluable experience. Thank you for answering all of our questions, organizing the orientation and preparing us for such a life changing experience.  I will truly be forever grateful for every opportunity, friendship, and life-long lesson learned there.  Mallory, Wake Forest, Fall 2004
