I've studied abroad before-Costa Rica in 2003 and Russia in 2004-never in Greece though. One thing you have to remember whenever you are in ANY foreign country is to always keep an open mind about the culture-things that may seem commonplace to us may be completely strange to them, and vice versa (for example, in Serbia one greets somebody by kissing them on the cheeks 3x, and when I did this in U.S.A. people mistook me for a lesbian). For Greece I can tell you that it gets VERY hot during the summer months, that they have great food, that they party hard (if you go to a Greek club, you may notice the very upbeat dancing, the throwing of napkins in the air, the breaking of plates, etc), that their food is wonderful, and that the people are friendly (at least in MY experience). PM me if you need some more advice about studying abroad!
