“Africa is a huge continent with many different languages, cultures, and lifestyles depending on where you go. I studied abroad in Ghana, and it was by far the best decision I’ve ever made in my life. This is just the tip of the iceberg – some knowledge you should have before considering Ghana as a place to study abroad. I honestly believe Ghana is one of the greatest secrets of the world. Do yourself a favor by studying there, and you’ll live to share Ghana’s beauty with the rest of the world. Ghana treated me so well, I feel it is my duty to encourage others to visit and enjoy the amazing things Ghana has to offer.” Jeremy Ginsburg, 21, Minneapolis, USA.
