Student Testimonials
"Volos is just the right size for a study abroad semester. It’s not so big that you feel overwhelmed, but it’s big enough that there are always plenty of things to do. The location of the city is great also, because it is located right on the Gulf surrounded by mountains. So you are getting the best of both worlds-mountains and the sea. The Volos program also encourages extra traveling on weekends and spring or fall break. There are plenty of opportunities to travel around Greece and the islands. It’s a worthwhile experience to live for an extended period of time in a different culture. That, in and of itself, is a learning experience. The entire curriculum is set up so that all of the classes work together and reinforce each other. The classes bring together a lot of the things that you will visit and learn about on field trips."

"The opportunity to study abroad for a semester in Greece was an ideal for me to experience a different culture and place. Being instructed by a Drury professor and inhabitant of Greece seemed like a great opportunity to have a very insightful understanding of the place I was going to visit. Two years ago my trip to study in Volos was interrupted by my deployment to Iraq with the Army Reserve. To finally attend this semester has allowed me to fulfill a void in my life. Volos, Greece has truly provided an uninhibited window into another culture. A person truly feels they are surrounded by something foreign, but can find comfort in their fellow students and the familiarity of the academic environment."
