Tonight we had many speakers that came to talk to us about doing a study abroad program to various places. Dr. Zang is the director of the program here at UNA and he was very eager to talk to us about going out on a limb to see the world before we get bogged down by our careers in the real world. He pointed out the cost and a few scholarship offers that he knows are available for students interested in studying in another country.
The first student to talk about her personal experience with the program was Corinne Beckinger and she talked about her trip to China. With all of her scholarships, the trip only ended up costing her $800 and she had a great time. Where she went was apparently very westernized and the language barrier was not a major problem because of the number of other students from around the world.
The next student was Lauren Dailey, who went on an independent travel trip to Spain. I really liked her talk because i went to Spain last spring break and throughly enjoyed it. She talked about doing things that i had experienced and much more that i would like to try sometime. She said her class schedule was pretty good with a small class size and a fairly short day and then she could just chill out all after noon. Seems like a good deal.
students are preferring abroad for study as it gives them exposure and experience of life time. Various scholarship are also available for eligible students.
