School's not
just for class

CAN YOU see yourself set-
ting up an easei on the
sidewalks of Paris? Ex-
cavating the ruins of Spanish
cities? Mastering Italian
cuisine in an authentic Italian
restaurant?

Do these activities spark
your spirit for adventure and
start you yearning for an
overseas adventure?

If so, study abroad may be
for you. It blends the
scholastic and cultural worlds
in a manner that adds depth
and value to the schooling of
individuals both young and
old.

A study abroad program
offers the opportunity to ex-
perience a new and different
culture while furthering a col-
lege education.

Courses vary in length,
from several days to a few
months, and include a wide
range of study opportunities,
ranging from art to law.

The programs reach into
countries worldwide. South
of the Sahara, East and
South Asia and Oceania,
Europe, the Middle East and
North Africa and onto the
islands of the Western
hemisphere, as well as closer
to home in the Americas.

With such a vast area to
choose from, for those an-
ticipating study abroad the
main question is where? And,
once that is answered, how?

There are many things to
consider when planning to
study in a foreign country,

depending on. personal
preferences and financial
needs.

It is important for the pro-
spective overseas student to
investigate all areas of study
and travel.

For example, most spon-
soring colleges do not make
arrangements for travel to
summer programs
