Joni Ziak: Hey Marie,I feel that studying abroad is not necessarily the only option if you want to have a good travel experience abroad that is meaningful. Studying abroad is super expensive because you have to pay 3 parties 1)Your university 2)A third party liason that is helping organize all the logistics for you 3)The local institution in the country you are going to that is hosting you This is why studying abroad through your university in Italy, England, etc. can range from $3,500 for 1 month to $15,000 for a semester. If you want to go abroad, do something meaningful, travel, AND have it look good on your resume...I suggest you do an internship abroad and not go through your university...go directly to the third party. The third party wont be charging you tuition (obviously) and it will be cheaper for you. 1 month will be closer to $1,400 and 4 months abroad can be $4,000. SO you don't have to go into debt and your experience will be the same--if not better for ! your career to do something more worthwhile. I'm also from New York and did an internship abroad and thought it was much more beneficial for me than the French Language study abroad program I did in college.

Buddy Ardd: well if your college/uni has a study abroad program, then you can still earn credits while taking classes, they'll just be in the other country, but they have to be accepted by your school first. but other than the credits issue, it is pretty expensive. as far as I know, you might have to pay your own way to go and live in the other country. of course, you could try to get a scholarship too
August Hubbard: It absolutely is a realistic dream and definite! ly worth it. Depending on your school and the specific study ! abroad program and agreement with the destination institution, sometimes your financial aid will work during your study abroad experience. That is something you would really need to look into though because it varies a lot. For example, where I went to undergrad, your financial aid worked and you paid the exact same tuition if you wanted to study through the offered program in China... but you had to look for scholarships or pay from loans, out of pocket, etc. if you wanted to go to New Zealand. The school I work with now will allow you to use your finanical aid and pay the same tuition if the students study in Spain (but this option only just became available this year) but if you go anywhere else, your financial aid won't work and you need to figure it out finanically pretty much on your own (most commonly through loans).A study abroad experience is amazing and extremely beneficial! My brief time abroad was the best time of my entire life and wish I had gone with a mor! e traditional study abroad option when I was an undergrad. I was only abroad a month but I can't even begin to describe the positive impact even just that time had on me. In terms of careers later on... some hot key words in TONS of job descriptions these days include multiple variations of global experience and international education. If you can get past the initial price tag look of studying abroad, having that experience can do nothing but benefit you....Show more
Forest Duttinger: I learn the Bible the entire approach by way of whilst I was once a child and cherished being a Christian. I've studied elements of the Bible in my maturity now that I'm completed with Christianity, in general to take a look at and appreciate what I had firstly learn but additionally to make a legitimate try at stating the damage in institution-believe to the believers who want to talk about their faith with me. I individually believe Christianity is going a protracted strategy to di! sprove itself if you are pondering rationally. I possess 2 Bibles - a K! JV and an NIV....Show more
