Studying Abroad



Italy, Spain, China, South Africa, Australia, Ireland, Germany, the list goes on. Maybe you've thought a little bit about studying abroad for a semester or maybe even a whole year. Either way, travelling and living in another country is an opportunity to take advantage of.
Each year, several students choose to study abroad in many different countries around the world. Some do it for the education, but almost all do it for the cultural experience along with the education. I have begun thinking about studying in Italy for a semester my junior year as I become more fluent in the italian language over the next couple years.
Learning the traditions of a new culture, celebrating their holidays, tasting their foods, and experiencing their lifestyle is what studying abroad is all about. Recently, there was a study abroad fair in the atrium of the Donald P. Corbett building. On site were many representatives from foreign exchange programs, encouraging students to take advantage of the incredible opportunity. No matter where you choose to study, take in the culture, and bring back something you can teach to those who couldn't experience it first hand for themselves.
