Dear reader,
The lazy, hazy days of summer are a distant memory, and the fall semester is well under way! I hope the new school year has started off well for you.
Searching for an authentic European experience? St John University's "Discover the World Program" is an exciting study and service-learning adventure that will take you to some of the most culturally-rich cities in Spain, Italy, France and Ireland.
For the start of the school year, our Destination of the Month is England - the most popular country for U.S. students abroad. Our featured City Portal this month is the birthplace of civilization - the magical city of Athens!
As always, please feel free to let us know what items you would like to see in this monthly newsletter, and don't forget to pass it along to your friends and classmates.
Cheers,
Josh
Your IIEPassport General Manager
St. John's University
Spend an exciting semester living and studying in three different countries! With St. John's Discover the World program, you will spend five weeks each in Rome and Paris, then choose from five weeks in either Salamanca or Dublin. Or spend a full semester at our Rome campus immersed in the life of the "Eternal City." Either program offers dynamic service learning opportunities along with 12-18 credits over the academic semester, with courses that are culturally rich, academically challenging, and inspire an appreciation for European culture.
Featured Destination of the Month: England
Featured Sponsor: Newcastle University
England's rich history and modern culture have made it one of the world's most popular study abroad destinations. Vibrant multicultural cities and towns, quaint villages, rolling countryside and dramatic coastline result in a varied and diverse country. Students of all levels, backgrounds and fields of study are sure to find a study abroad program that meets their needs.
There is virtually no limit to the courses available to study abroad students. A simple search on IIEPassport.org for "England" and "full curriculum" will return results including programs of every duration and time of year. Specialized options include independent study, study tour, adult education, practical training and internships. With this abundance of opportunities, students can and should be discerning in their choice of program.

Featured City Portal: Athens
With a history spanning more than 3,000 years, Athens played an unmatched role in the early development of western civilization and was the site of one of the world's earliest democracies. In ancient times, Athens was a powerful city-state and a center of art, learning and philosophy. Today, it is the political, cultural, financial and commercial center of modern Greece.
Students of all levels and subject fields come to Athens to study abroad. The College Year in Athens (CYA) program examines the history of ancient and medieval Greece, and compares and contrasts it with the Greece of today. Directed field study and study travel - integral components of the program - bring students into direct contact with the sites, monuments, landscape and people that have shaped the world as we know it.
