Should you study abroad?
Many exceptional opportunities come under study abroad.
Do go if:
- You have an academic objective in mind for study abroad.
- Your major will allow it.
Most majors will. Study abroad can be integrated into almost any major.
- You will have finished your general distribution requirements by the end of your Junior year.
- There is not some special on-campus opportunity which you value above studying abroad.
Don’t go if:
• Your main objective is travel.
If you only want to travel, you do not need to be engaged in coursework while you do that.
• You simply need to escape.
Take a regular leave of absence if you need a break from your studies.
• You are a senior and do not have special permission from the Standards Committee.
