            Prague is amazing.  It is one of the most fantastic cities I have ever visited. It is beau

            is romantic. It is friendly. It is cost-effective. Mezipatra, the international film festi
            experience of a lifetime. I had the opportunity to meet people from all over the world at 
            I saw groundbreaking films. I met actors, directors, scholars, etc. I met some of the most

            students (at Charles University) with which I have ever studied. The cultural experience o
            second to none. The students in the program are extremely smart.  I was able to connect wi
            discuss feminism, LGBT activism, transnational film, etc. They generously showed me everyt

            see about the city. I went to great restaurants, landmarks, night clubs, and historic loca
            everything I could ever want in a city. It is definitely on my list of cities to visit the

            to Europe. This experience profoundly enriched my academic experience. At the end of the s
            students and I put on a public symposium and presented everything we learned in Prague at 
            University. It was a great way to bond with my classmates. The Czech students became famil

            as the US students did in Washington, DC.  Any GW student would be likely to experience th
            Prague.  I learned more in my one week in Prague than I have learned in most classes in a 
            hope that the US students can host them in Washington, DC, in the future.  The experience 

            meaningful, and the memories will last a lifetime.
