During my 3 weeks I was able to visit major historical attractions, try various delicious cuisines, and learn about European culture through work in class and my experiences exploring! It was the adventure of a lifetime and I highly recommend this program to anyone looking to study abroad.

Forum Nexus is only a month long program but it will be the best decision you will ever make. I made the best friends I could ever ask for, while traveling around the world. Your travel friends will always share a bond with you that no other friend can.
This program also gave me the chance to see 9 different cities that I had always wanted to see. I had the freedom to explore and see the world while taking classes along the way. It was the most amazing experience.

My study abroad experience was a 10/10 with Forum Nexus. I experienced unforgettable memories and made lifelong friends. Not only were the locations we explored great, but also the staff, classes, and coordination of the trips. I never felt unsafe or
lost with Forum Nexus because our whole trip was planned to a tee by the amazing staff. On top of the planned trips by Forum Nexus, we were also able to signup for additional experiences and explore cities like Venice. I will never forget this experience and I would recommend it to anyone!

I was so blessed with the opportunity to travel abroad to five European countries with Forum-Nexus. It was the best decision I have ever made. Forum-Nexus gave me more than enough. This is the best program that lets you take useful classes, visit awesome
companies and organization, and travel. International Marketing class was so much fun. I am sure that you can never learn at your school. International IQ seminar made me have intelligence. One month sounds too short, but you have a plenty of time to do whatever you want to. I got to meet so many friends from different places and different backgrounds. This one month was incredibly wonderful. Life changing experience every single day. I learned a lot, enjoyed a lot, ate a lot, walked a lot, and laughed a lot. The professors are knowledgeable and the staffs are friendly and super helpful. I am so thankful to be a part of member of this awesome program. I will never forget this good memories and be the best time in my entire life. This is what you need to do during summer. I recommend you to sign up for Forum-Nexus right now!

Forum-Nexus was hands down the best decision I have ever made. If you are someone who is looking at study abroad programs, this one is phenomenal and I guarantee outshines any other programs out there. The people, the places, the culturally enriching

I had the time of my life, while enhancing my international knowledge and connections, seeing once in a lifetime sights and making lifetime friendships I will forever be grateful for. The memories and information I gained with Forum-Nexus, I will carry with me throughout my life. I am so lucky to have been apart of something so great!

This summer I worked as a hospitality management intern for Forum Nexus and it was the most rewarding experience of my life. I was able to visit so many amazing cities while learning about different hospitality practices around the world. I was able to
meet so many amazing hotel representatives and learn about why they chose to pursue a career in hospitality. Each and everyone of them were inspiring and motivating. I learned so much about myself and what I want to do with my future. If you have the chance to study abroad I would 100% recommend Forum Nexus, wether you want to explore an internship or just take regular classes, you will not be disappointed.

- The PERFECT study abroad!09/04/17
Forum-Nexus offers so many amazing opportunities for people who want to see the world and make new best friends! It works for people who have a picky check-list of things they want in a study abroad program: 5 weeks of the summer, traveling all throughout
Europe, with a great group of students from all over who want to meet new people and see new things. The main cities in the program are excellently chosen because they are so unique and provide so much balance. You get to see big busy cities, fun laid-back cities, and even small hidden-gem cities and towns. The classes are fun and super informative across every city you visit, and you get to walk outside the hotel and see everything you've always heard of. Then you get professional visits that really show you how people work in different cities, and there are cultural tours to show you how people live and what's important where you go. Forum-Nexus is also the perfect blend of structure and flexibility, so you can follow the group for activities or go on your own for the weekends to see entirely new countries! You get to really cater the experience to what YOU want, and Forum-Nexus is there to ensure you get the most out of it! In my travels with Forum-Nexus, I gained so many new skills for adapting to new environments and relating to people from different cultures. Forum-Nexus is perfect because it's fun but you grow so much as a person, and it opens up your world so much! I feel so connected to the world from traveling, meeting people, seeing landmarks, learning about the history and culture and technology, and loving every second of it with Forum-Nexus. Forum-Nexus works because it's so great that it pulls in amazing and dedicated staff and students. In just a few words, Forum-Nexus is: dynamic, adventurous, quality, family.

I was a part of 2015 FN program and I still constantly think about the amazing experience I had! What I really liked about Forum Nexus is that you can customize the experience to your travel preferences. There is a good variety of class offerings and
because the program goes through multiple countries, you can visit a lot of different cities (or stay in one place and dig a little deeper, as I did!). A special shout out to the staff of Forum Nexus--they work tirelessly to make sure each student has a great summer. Feedback is taken seriously and the team is very committed to making continual improvements. I highly recommend this program!!

Forum Nexus exceeded any and all expectations I had for an incredible summer. I went on Forum Nexus the summer of 2016, and have never been so grateful for an experience. Throughout the program, you get to explore many different countries, cultures, landscapes,
foods, and people. Thanks to a moving campus, in four weeks you get to experience so much of Europe, and so fully! No one destination can be compared to the next, and everywhere we went on this trip was incredible. There are tons of classes offered, and everyone on the trip really got to connect with our professors and the subject matter. With plenty of free time after class, you get to enjoy the places you are! I was nervous before I went that I would not feel super connected with any one place because we moved so often, but that was not the case. I felt I connected with every place I went, and had enough time to see the history, culture, and landmarks. The program itself is also international, and I got to study alongside students from all over the world while being taught by professors from all over the world in classrooms all over the world-amazing. The man in charge of it all, Hugo, is so passionate and makes the program what it is. For over 25 years, he has been leading study abroad programs like this throughout Europe. He is so knowledgeable about the places we go, and really makes an effort for everyone to understand the culture of the area we are. Every country visit is preceded by a culture lecture, where we talk about language, religion, food, customs, and etiquette. It was an amazing way to see the world. I made some of my best friends on this trip, and still think everyday of the amazing times I had. From hiking in the French Alps, to riding a gondola in Venice, to visiting the Sagrada Familia, and lounging on the Greek Island of Rhodes, FN does it all.

- A Summer for the Books.11/09/15
Honestly, this was one of the most fun and most educational summers ever. Forum Nexus is amazing because you get to travel through so many different cities and experience all the different kinds of amazing food. Hugo, I mean DJ Hugo, is an awesome program
director and wants everyone to really experience the culture in each city and improve your international IQ. The best part about this program was we had the opportunity to go on weekend trips so we could see even more of Europe. If there were ever any probems, staff was around to help. I made friends for a lifetime that live across the world and that I still keep in contact with. This month long experience was one for the books.

This study abroad changed my life. I loved it so much. I learned a lot and totally improved my International IQ. I also made so many friends I still keep in contact with and plan to for many years to come. Hugo is an amazing director who is so full of
energy that you can never be anything but excited every single day abroad. Getting to see all of the cities was perfect and I really felt like I had a better understanding of the different cultures after I left. I would love to go back to Europe with Forum Nexus in the future! Best experience I could have ever hoped for! I recommend it to anyone who wants to see the world and learn a bunch in a fun and interesting way.

Forum Nexus is an unforgettable experience . It gave me the chance to visit several European countries and learn about their cultures. From the academic point of view: Classes were very useful. In the marketing class, I learned the different tools European
countries use to market their products, and how these tools change from one country to the other, which helped me in my career since i am a marketing major. The professors were also very friends and were always available for help in and outside class. From the social point: I met various students from different nationalities and backgrounds and made life time friends, which led me to start seeing life from a different perspective and enjoy every moment. Hence, forum nexus is an amazing learning and fun experience that I definitely recommend to other students.

- Forum-Nexus gets a 10/10 overall!09/08/13
From the beginning to the end, Forum-Nexus as a program offered and followed through with every detail a study abroad program should. The website is laid out informatively, the support staff is genuinely interested in your participation, the first day
of orientation is all-encompassing with cultural logistics, weekends are left free for students to tour the cities, classes are held casually yet there are enough professional visits to get you a feel for the real business lifestyle, the hotels are comfortable and located in serious vacation spots, and the closing ceremony is intimate as well as serves delicious international food. The best thing about Forum-Nexus is that it caters to the global student; we travel with people from all over the earth and Dr. Hugo's international IQ component really pushes us to become a citizen of the world. I never had any difficulties traveling around Europe or completing schoolwork. Since the interns and professors travel with us, any and every question you may have is easily answered by a very friendly staff. Not to mention how simple the credit transfer is from one of the European universities back to your home institution. I definitely give it a 10/10!

Studying abroad with Forum Nexus has been a life changing experience. This past summer I was able to take a cross- cultural sociology class that counted towards my sociology degree, while studying abroad in Europe. Forum Nexus offers many different courses
to choose from. All of the professors were terrific; each one cared about the students and has a passion for teaching. Going to class was fun and enjoyable. Whether it was banana boat riding in the Greek islands to walking around Parc Guell in Barcelona to taking a gondola ride up to the top of Mount Blanc in France. I can say I left Europe with no regrets, new friendships and memories that I will cherish forever.

Studying abroad with Forum Nexus is such an amazing experience. You get to tour around 7 cities all while taking classes with great professors and meeting tons of new people. The professors are all extremely knowledgable and cultured and they really do

Getting the opportunity to be part of Forum-Nexus in the Summer of 2013 was quite simply one of the best things to happen to me in recent times! Studying abroad had long been a thing on my list of things to do and this is certainly the way to do it. As
a grad student with no background in business in marketing, the courses themselves did definitely teach me a lot and combined with the great relationships formed with the students and professors created an incredibly useful program overall. Adding to that the fact that this took place as we traveled across 7 cities in Europe, the experience is one that I will certainly cherish for a lifetime along with the unforgettable memories and friendships forged in such a short period of time.

This programs was absolutely incredible, and I can safely say that I had one of the greatest summers of my life! Like most programs, It does have its flaws (ie: paying for internet in some hotels, and I wish that I could have spent longer in some cities),
however the numerous outstanding aspects of the program outweigh the flaws by a landslide. The staff is fun and caring and moreover, extremely knowledgeable, and they take the time to get to know you outside of the classroom, on a more personal level. That being said, between the group of students and the staff, after four short weeks, you feel as if you have become part of a family. In addition, I had the opportunity to broaden my horizons: inside AND outside of the classroom. By the end of my travels with forum-nexus, I was more culturally aware than ever. I really learned to see from a new, more worldly perspective, ultimately, changing the way that I see the world, and the way that the world sees me. There was a great balance of work and study time, and enjoyment and exploration, really giving me the chance to see a cityl, and learn about it as well. To sum up my review, I would study with forum-nexus again in a heartbeat. Initially, I was a little skeptical about applying and paying, being that I just found the program on a random website, but I am forever thankful that I took the risk and applied and joined not knowing what to expect. I can whole-heartedly say: this trip changed my life for the better.

I honestly don't know how to put into words just how amazing this program is. Aside from the obvious immersion into new cultures, the physical act of interacting with other students from all over the world, as well as professional organizations, allows

In class, I learned A LOT and we did have a few assignments, but never an overwhelming amount to keep you from exploring each and every city that we got to visit.

This was a great experience with lots of people from all over the world. I met a lot of new friends, enjoyed the cities, trips, professional visits, and classes and I had a great time with both classmates and professors. Traveling around so many cities
can be tiring, but it's always fun and a thrilling experience. I had already been to most of the places we visited, but it was much better to travel with so many people and from so many different countries.

The professors are great and very helpful, inside and outside of class, and the companies we visit complement the coursework we take so that we get hands-on experience of how the real work life operates. We even took international IQ classes to broaden our knowledge of the different countries we're visiting, their cultures, language, history, etc. Forum-Nexus is definitely a worthwhile experience!

Different cultures have different values and beliefs. This will be seen in the first day of classes and you will continue to notice differences as you interact with more people on the trip. Yes, this trip was definitely worthwhile. The classes and work
were the appropriate amount for a study abroad trip. We received a lot of information about international IQ and still had time to enjoy the cities we were visiting. Forum-Nexus did a great job with integrating all of the students with the culture of each city. Some hotels were far out of the city, but if you always stay in groups, I never felt unsafe. If I did, I know I could always discuss this with one of the professors and they would help me be more comfortable.

This trip was absolutely worth while! This program absolutely changed my life in so many ways. I was extremely skeptical about this trip because it seemed too good to be true. Even up until the second I walked into the hotel, I was nervous about what
to expect, but once I met the other students and professors, from that point on, it was AMAZING! It is such a fast-paced program, but you really have the chance to to do it all. Between the classes, homework, corporate visits, sightseeing, traveling, it is tiring but worth every minute. There are only a limited number of programs for MBA students that are from an accredited (AACSB) university, that are so business-focused. That's why I could not let this opportunity with FN go. I was really excited to meet with some really huge corporations and make networks there that could possibly be useful in the future. The other thing I really enjoyed is how most afternoons/evening and weekends we had the liberty to do whatever we wanted after class and the professional visits. Overall, it was one of the best times of my life, and would do it again in a heartbeat. Now that I have graduated, I need another reason to go!

Forum-Nexus was awesome because it places you into a situation where your with a bunch of strangers in a foreign country and as a result you end up making amazing friends while seeing the world! It was amazing to learn about global culture. I've made
the most amazing life long friends while studying abroad! I'll never forget skating in Paris, and singing in Greece. This program would be best for someone who wants to see more than one country and can not dedicate a full semester to study abroad.

Our professors really made this program happen, and it is because of them that I gained a great deal of academic and social understanding of the local environments. Students from around the world come together in one place and present their views and
experiences likely different than your own. It is an eye-opening experience with lots of insight to the global marketplace

I LOVED this program. We had a decent balance between school and free time. We had the chance to travel to so many places in such a short amount of time; we were never bored. We were given a lot of freedom and were able to explore on our own. If I could
repeat my summer again, I would do it in a heartbeat. I've made great friends—we still keep in touch and travel to visit each other. Great experience, one of the best summers of my life.

Forum-Nexus was an amazing trip that changed my life. You get to see so many countries and make so many new friends, as well as learning a lot educationally. It truly was a great experience. Absolutely look into Forum-Nexus! It is a great program for

There's a concept Forum-Nexus stressed the entire trip: "IQ". International Quotient. Taking this trip has sparked my interest in traveling domestically and internationally. I refuse to go more than 3 months without taking a trip more than 200 miles away
from my home. I am obssessed with seeing new things, learning more, experiencing life changing moments.

My international IQ went up tenfold. I became aware of the world around me in an entirely different way. I got the chance to see how other cultures live and to experience them first hand. The money issue only came up because the Euro was trading at 1.65
- 1, which really hurt my wallet. It had little to do with the program. I usually bought lunch and dinner which is normal. I could have just as easily gone to the store and picked up some food to keep in the hotel. I also went out almost every night which didn't help my budget but definitely contributed to the entire experience.

Forum-Nexus was a unique program that offers everything a participant could want in a study-abroad experience. The professors/directors were very knowledgeable of every country that was visited and were able to provide an extensive wealth of knowledge
to the students that was beyond textbook reading. The balance between class and exploration was fair and enabled students to make their own decisions and plan their own daily schedules. Students had a reasonable amount of freedom, while still managing to gain a valuable education.

Lots of people say studying abroad can be one of the most rewarding and exciting experiences in a college student's career. Getting to know another culture, living in a new environment, learning a new language, and meeting new people are all different
from the type of education one acquires on campus. Equally important for all students is the discovery of their own country, as they come to see it from a foreign vantage point.

I would not change a thing if I could do it over again. It was the perfect experience to garner exposure to many different cultures, increase international IQ, form friendships with amazing people from different backgrounds, and have a ton of fun. The
program was amazing. It taught me cultural intelligence and fully exposed me to countries and environments that I had no knowledge of before. The faculty were well organized and direct in the daily agenda. There was enough structure to provide consistent education and guidance, but we were also given freedom to make the experience our own and explore new places on our own in groups. It was the perfect mix of freedom and structure so that we were constantly exposed to new experiences.
