With the opportunity to study abroad in nearly any country, you have the world in the palm of your hand. If you use that opportunity to study abroad to Poland, you could literally hold the fate of the world in your hands. Polish legend tells that if you climb to the top of the 20-foot guardian dragon at Wawel Castle and accidentally bring one of its bones to the ground, you will also bring the world to an end. Aside from this Central European country's entertaining folklore, Poland is featured by 23 breathtaking national parks, beautiful and colorful architecture, rich history and friendly citizens.

Choose a program in Switzerland and do more than the typical hike or beach trip on the weekends while studying abroad. Take on winter sports, climb up the Matterhorn, revive yourself in the Pfafers hot springs and—get this—spend the weekend in a hayloft instead of a hostel. Forget your house cat and cuddle with irresistibly cute farm animals on an agrotourism expedition. More than 200 Swedish farmers provide agrotourism as an alternative to the average hostel or Airnbn to help you immerse yourself in the natural beauty of Switzerland.
