The world is at your fingertips. Literally. When you study abroad you will be introduced to another country with its own unique history and culture. Every country provides a different experience entirely. That’s why choosing where in the world to study is a highly personal decision.
If you’re an adventure seeker and cliff climbing, snorkeling, and ambling about in the Outback sounds like your cup of tea, then study abroad in Australia. You could also long to see the old world, drink the finest wines, and eat haute cuisine while you study abroad in France. Or maybe paying service to people less fortunate than yourself is a calling and you’d like to volunteer while you study in South America or Africa.
And if one country is too limiting for you, then perhaps a semester at sea is in your future. Wherever you decide to go, or what you decide to study, don’t miss your opportunity to study abroad. Seeing the world as a student will forever change you for the better.
Europe
One of the most popular places for Americans to study abroad is France and the other countries of Europe. But before you decide where to go in Europe, think about the type of experience you seek. All European countries, including England, Ireland, France, Germany, Italy, and Spain, offer some mix of the old world and modern society. But some cities in these countries are much more modern than others. Assess your longing for nightclubs versus cobblestones, and high fashion versus famous paintings on high ceilings, and you’ll pick the best country for you.

Semester at Sea
Semester at sea programs are a great alternative to studying abroad in one foreign country. If you enroll in a semester at sea program you’ll likely see more of the world.

Semester at sea programs can take you off the coast of the Caribbean, to the waters of Asia and the South Pacific, or to the exotic Mediterranean. And because you’ll be studying in and around interesting countries, your adventures at port will be memorable parts of the whole experience.
