I completed my studies in 3 years instead of the average 4.

Overall
I completed my studies in particular, at the New York College in Athens with a major in Financial Management. The premises were quite good, the professors very highly qualified,  all of them having completed their studies with an impeccable academic record in United States, the personnel very courteous and educated, however as regards the career office, quite frankly they were almost exclusively for decoration there. They never bothered to help me or even notify me about any potential job openings despite the fact that I received my degree from Empire State University like all other students, with an exceptional academic record.

Personal recommendation
It was a great experience, but some people really didn't like Athens. It's a crazy city - dirty, polluted, and loud - but I loved it anyway.

Final comments
College Year in Athens is a program not a University. It is small (usually about 90 students a semester) and is sort of a family atmosphere. You get to travel a lot with your classes, but there is also time to travel on your own. It was the best experience of my life and I would go back in a second.

The Greek food alone is enough of a reason to study there.
