Study Abroad: Start Thinking About It Now!

Anyone who has studied abroad can tell you it was one of the best experiences of their life.  I myself went to Sevilla, Spain for the academic year.  That year changed my life; not only did I improve my Spanish, but I learned so much about myself.  When you are abroad you face all new challenges.  You'll learn to find your way across the city, how to catch a bus to visit a small pueblo, which bakery has the best bread, what to order in the local restaurant, etc.  I cannot stress enough how important it will be as a part of your undergraduate career.

Start planning now! Depending on the program, you may need to meet certain requirements to be eligible to study abroad. Make sure you are on track now to avoid any predicaments.
