Sara Aboulenien, Cairo, Egypt
I had an outstanding experience at Graz. Not only was the learning
environment rich, but the city itself offers great cultural and culinary
experiences. The people are very welcoming and kind, and Graz
constitutes a great hub to visit the region as well as many places in
Central and Eastern Europe. Would highly recommend this experience
to anyone who has the opportunity to have it.
