Chaos, Credits, and Croissants: One Month in Europe with Forum-Nexus
Ever dreamed of stuffing a semester’s worth of learning into a suitcase and zipping across Europe? That’s the
magic of Forum-Nexus Study Abroad—where your classroom spans seven cities in four weeks, and
“homework” might be writing a paper on a train to Milan while eating a baguette.
Seven Cities, One Suitcase, Unlimited Memories
Start in Barcelona surrounded by Gaudí’s masterpieces, then toss coins in Rome’s Trevi Fountain. Sip espresso
in Milan, yodel in Lugano (Switzerland, why not?), and end the month under the Eiffel Tower in Paris or biking
through Amsterdam. Along the way, your suitcase becomes a puzzle you solve daily, your Google Maps app
becomes your best friend, and you develop elite-level suitcase-sprinting skills.
Navigating train stations with a 50-pound bag? That’s cardio. Oversleeping and running to the next city’s
departure point? Character development. Slightly lost but discovering a hidden café with life-changing gelato?
Peak Forum-Nexus.
Academic Credit in Motion
This isn’t just a Eurotrip—it’s also up to nine transferable college credits. Classes happen in hotel conference
rooms, buses, and museum courtyards. One moment you’re learning about international relations in class, the
next you’re inside the EU Parliament, watching theory come to life.
Studying here means debating global economics between bites of brie or writing a reflection paper with a view
of Lake Como. You become a master of time management, creative napping, and cross-cultural comparison.
This is learning, but far from ordinary.
Cultural Crashes and Culinary Wins
Traveling through seven countries means accidentally saying “gracias” in Italy and “ciao” in the
Netherlands—but that’s part of the fun. You’ll feast on street food (some delicious, some questionable), live off
daily gelato, and proudly mispronounce French pastry names.
Spontaneous detours might lead to flamenco shows, secret lakeside views, or deep conversations with locals
you never planned to meet. Google Translate will betray you at least once—but you’ll laugh, adapt, and grow.
CEO Mode: Professional Visits
Forum-Nexus isn’t just about croissants and cathedrals. Students visit top companies across Europe, attend
networking sessions, and sit in on real business presentations. You’ll trade your hoodie for a blazer (wrinkled
but respectable) and walk into HQs feeling like a future CEO—one who maybe still has gelato on their sleeve.
The People Make It
More than the cities, it’s the people that leave a mark. Your group becomes a travel family, bonded by inside
jokes, spontaneous dance-offs, and group photos in front of world landmarks. You’ll meet students from across
the globe, celebrate birthdays in foreign languages, and leave with lifelong friendships (and a few couches to
crash on worldwide).
Ready to Go?
If you’re itching to pack a bag, eat your weight in crêpes, and earn real academic credit while adventuring
through Europe—Forum-Nexus is calling. It’s the rare kind of experience that teaches you just as much about
yourself as it does about the world.
Say yes to the journey, yes to the chaos, and yes to croissants for breakfast. Your summer of a lifetime awaits.
