2009 Photos: View our collection of FSB Europe Program photographs. Look for weekly updates when students are travelling for the 2009 program.

This is not the European trip you took with your family or in high school. This four-country, academic program has students living in two exciting cultural and commercial cities on opposite sides of the English Channel—Nantes and London—as well as visiting the “new Europe” represented by Prague and Budapest. The program begins in Nantes, France, where you will get a real sense of French life during your stay with a host family. Next the group moves east, where the European Union is expanding. Hungary will steal your heart. Budapest has every luxury of Western Europe, overlaid with its unique history and culture, at half the cost. Business visits are included and classes are held at the Central European University (CEU).  The Czech Republic offers something for everyone. The pulsing capital, Prague, is never a disappointment. For students, Prague is a favorite or on their must-see list of European cities.

In London classes are held at Regent’s College in Regent’s Park, in the heart of London. Housing is in the college residence hall, and meals are in the College’s dining facilities. All four locations serve as great launching pads for destinations all across Europe when classes end each week.
