Regional Info:

By studying in the Balkans, you too can share the long and rich cultural history spanning the Roman Empire, the Ottoman Empire, communist regimes, as well as more contemporary Western European influences.  The legacies of these eras are recognizable in historical artifacts and cultural-traditional treasures. In addition to the rich historical narratives that crisscross the Balkans, the region has numerous natural gems that offer opportunities for regional adventure in beautiful and relatively secret mountain vistas and seaside paradises, most of which are accessible on a student budget.
