High school graduates experience college life in Croatia
High school graduates from the class of 2022 have taken a leap into higher education through RIT’s inaugural Post-High School Semester in Europe. The program has provided these students the opportunity to spend a semester at RIT’s campus in Dubrovnik, Croatia, taking three classes, conducting research, and enjoying experiential learning trips throughout Croatia and in Rome, Italy.
“This program offers students a chance to push themselves out of their comfort zones and experience life in a new place, while living more independently and getting a taste of college academics,” said Rebecca Charry Roje, program coordinator for the Post-High School European Semester program and a longtime senior lecturer at RIT Croatia. “Students are enjoying a lifestyle that is more closely connected to nature and history, while they come face to face with different ways of thinking that help them clarify their own values and choices for their future lives.”
