With not have ever traveling overseas before, making Switzerland my first destination stop was a great choice! I am so glad and fortunate to have been a part of this summer program that lead us over to this amazing and beautiful country. There are so many things about the trip I loved, some of them being: touring the WTO and UN, visiting the Nestle corporate offices, seeing the Chateau de Chillon in Montreux, embarking on the Swiss rail to other Swiss towns like Fribourg and Zurich on our free travel days. It was even better that we got to travel with other UNF students in a group and we all got to know each other pretty well and created some lasting friendships! I would definitely recommend this trip to any future student prospect, this was an extraordinary culture and life experience that I will never forget and continue to cherish the memories!

I am from Europe, but it was my first time in Switzerland. Wow, it is definitely a place I will come back to. If you ever thought of going to Europe, Switzerland should be your first pick! Make sure you have enough memory cards and film, because everywhere you turn a beautiful picture awaits. Amazing country, educational visits, plenty of free time travel, great food and many opportunities to find out more about yourself and others are only a few of the reasons why you should pick this trip! This will be your life changing experience - I promise!!!
