Residence Life Program
The Residence Life Program offers students meaningful cultural immersion experiences both in Greece and at The American College of Greece. The program includes a variety of activities such as day trips, social gatherings, and more!
Philoxenia @ ACG
“Philoxenia” [«φιλοξενία»] is the ancient Greek word used to describe the concept of hospitality, the generosity and courtesy shown to those who are far from home. The act of welcoming, caring for, and entertaining visitors from abroad formed an institution central to the social life of ancient Greeks. The American College of Greece, DEREE, continues this ancient tradition today through its Philoxenia Program. The Program aims at fostering friendships and cultural understanding among the many nationalities here at ACG.
Day-Trip Excursions
As part of the study abroad experience, students enjoy three-day-trip excursions each semester and one during the summer session, all included in the Study Abroad Comprehensive Fee. Semester excursions typically feature a mix of mainland destinations, picturesque islands, and historic sites. During the summer, students will have the opportunity to explore one of Greece’s beautiful islands.
