LOOKING FOR A UNIQUE LOCATION TO STUDY ABROAD?
CHECK OUT PROGRAMS IN ONE OF THESE LESS-TRAVELED DESTINATIONS
This country that sounds like you could be trying to pronounce the name of your lunch meat with a mouthful is actually a hidden gem among Eastern Europe. Because tourists are not flooding into Bulgaria, the country maintains a fairly cheap currency when compared to surrounding countries or the U.S. The affordability makes it that much easier to visit historically rich monasteries, mountain vistas, theaters dating back to 117 A.D., and the unexpectedly beautiful seaside beaches. Programs available through KU ISEP Exchange and Direct
Break out of the trite, routine nightlife of studying abroad by spending your semester under the Northern Lights in Iceland. The dancing green lights can be seen under the clear, dark sky outside of the capital city of Reykjavik. Although the lights are only visible for 15-20 minutes per night, the rest of your program will be filled with plenty more adventures, like dog sledding, glacier hiking and snowmobile expeditions. Programs available through KU, SIT, API, and Reykjavik University
In this stable Southern African country, the tranquility of nature can be holistically experienced by stepping out your front door or going on a tour with some of the world's best guides. Once your study abroad program in Botswana has ended, you'll find yourself missing the heavy sounds of elephants passing by and the sight of zebras migrating through Makgadikgadi and Nxai Pan National Parks in early November.
Programs available through CIEE and KU ISEP Direct
Volcanoes? Check. Beautiful Colonial streets? Check. Incredible beaches? Check. Coffee plantations? Check. Rainforests? Check. Indigenous culture? Check.. In fact, we're not sure why we're not in Nicaragua right now.
Programs available through KU, ISEP Direct, and SIT
Students choose not to study in Peru for a long list of reasons—the beautiful bright green of the Amazon Rainforest could hurt your eyes; you might have to change up your cooking style after eating some of the best food in the world; you could miss out on the season two release of Stranger Things while you're out exploring the incredible wildlife; heel blisters from the walk to Machu Pichu; the aliens who drew the Nazca Lines could abduct you when they decide to revisit Earth. Whatever your reason is, we're pretty sure Peru would still be worth it.
Programs available through KU (Summer), CIEEM, ISA, IFSAButter, and CISAbroad
Croatia is home to more than 1,000 islands of turquoise beaches,naturally wondrous national parks, and the filming location of Game of Thrones season six. If you're still gushing over the beauty of the GoT set and are only looking forward to summer '17 for season seven-give yourself something more to be excited about by studying practically on the set of your favorite series. Programs available through KU and API
Vietnam has a rich and long history preserved through traditional thought and culture for thousands of years. The country is constantly bustling with an accelerated state of development that makes it easy for visitors to enjoy the travel amenities, coffee, art and educational curriculum. Also, we hear the food is delicious. Programs available through CET, SIT, and TEAN
