After the graduation ceremony the students along with GLS management
and staff attended a dinner at a restaurant in Nicosia. The atmosphere was
festive and the students shared some of their experiences and impressions with the GLS staff:
"I'm certain that I will compare every summer for the rest of my life with this one. I cannot imagine how any other could possibly compare to the sheer brilliance of this one.

"Study abroad with GLS is a life-changing experience. You reach new levels that never seemed reachable. The people, the beaches, the way of life is amazing. I know I will go back a better person. I would stay forever if I could. Cyprus and GLS will always have a special place in my heart! Thank you to all the GLS staff. You have all been amazing. Best time of my life!"Jessica M. - Summer in Europe
"Traveling to Cyprus is the best decision I have ever made. I have learned in and outside of the classroom. It is a unique island and studying here has made me a part of the "big family" that Cyprus is."Lisa C. - Summer in Cyprus
"In six short weeks I have sailed three seas, danced like an Egyptian, seen the lights of Rome and visited the temples of ancient Gods, all while having the time of my life."Mercedes B. - Summer in the Mediterranean: International Marketing
