The BGSU Summer Study abroad program is located in Saint Petersburg, founded by Peter the Great in 1703 as a "window to Europe.” Today the city is the cultural capital of modern Russia. It combines Russian heritage and tradition with a distinctly European outlook. In the summer the natural phenomenon of White Nights attracts thousands of tourists, musicians, and artists, who celebrate the most romantic time of the year.
