Far from tourists, students become a part of the culture they choose to visit, studying and living, not only in a foreign place, but also in a foreign language, giving them a view of a different lifestyle not offered by any other type of study. Temple offers semester or year-long programs at their campuses in Rome, Tokyo and London, as well as summer programs to Brazil, France, Germany, Ghana, India, Mexico.

I got to meet tons of people from all over the country and see how motivated some people really are about being active members of our democracy. An invaluable component to the years one spends in college is branching out from one ' s comfort zone, trying new things, and experiencing what your suiToundings have to offer. Those who participate in the internship programs are undoubtedly taking advantage of the chance to explore previously uncharted territory in their lives. The lasting connections made from their experiences will never be forgotten. - Bv Man- E. Coyle Internships 25

Laura Stahl on hfT studies in France Laura Stahl, a junior majoring in Finance and International Business, studied in France in the fall of 2006. Though she is not technically studying through Temple ' s study abroad program, she says the international studies office was crucial in helping her set up her exchange program. She believes the Temple Study Abroad program is vitally important to enable people from all over the world to understand each other. It encourages more students to study in other cultures, Stahl said. These students come back with a new outlook on life. It is really all about learning tolerance - tolerance for another culture and that stays with a person. It is something that you carry with you for the rest of your life and by having a more tolerant worldly viewpoint essentially spreads that tolerance to B V others. It is such a positive chain reaction, B B - By Elizabeth Parks M (Above) Senior broadcasting major Mary Irishman learns the sport of hurling during her summer semester in Dublin.
