McKenna Ragen (she/her)
Hello! I studied in Dubrovnik, Croatia during the summer of 2022 with Yale’s Summer Session Abroad program. The five weeks that I spent there were easily some of the best of my life! From learning about a new culture to exploring many parts of Croatia to studying with Bosnian professors, I took away so much from the program. I followed up this experience on a CIEE program in Prague, Czech Republic during the fall of 2022. On this program, I knew no one. Therefore, I went into it with no expectations. However, anything I could have expected was blown out of the water. I had the most amazing semester and came away with friends I will have for the rest of my life. I learned so much about the history of the Czech Republic, studied the language, met students from all over the US, and got to travel around Europe! I would do both of these programs again and would recommend them both to anyone interested."
