Review:
Study Abroad Europe "requires and inspires both research and reflection [and] sets students up to learn more about current issues and policies in the US and the EU in order to discuss and compare both." -- Dr. Laurel Schenkoske, University of Wisconsin Milwaukee, Unterrichtspraxis/Teaching of German
Study Abroad Europe is "a very helpful aid for the individual student who is curious but needs guidance and for the faculty member who wants to create some structure around a given set of topics." -- Dr. Michael Woolf, Deputy President and Chief Academic Officer, CAPA International Education
