 Previous Next Body Copy Where have you always dreamt of going? England? Australia? China? Well, the study abroad program is an exciting way to discover all these beautiful places while attending classes and getting school credit. Study abroad also gives you an opportunity to travel with a group, not having to worry about being lost or by yourself in a new country. Study abroad is also a wonderful way to have some hands-on research of other countries and their people. Instead of reading about them in books and through journals, students get a chance to live in these countries and interact with natives. Students many times get a chance to live with families while they are studying abroad. They are exposed to all aspects of these cultures daily. They learn about the food, music, arts, and much more. Being able to attend classes in a different country is also a very exciting experience. Students might be learning ordinary things, but the fact that they are learning in a country foreign from their own, adds that thrill. Whether doing it for the chance to explore another culture or just to get away from the routine, studying abroad is an experience like no other. The University of Florida offers many opportunities and programs that students can take advantage of. They can learn a new language, a new culture, and come in contact with a way of life different from their own. -Carmen Bustillo Back to Album Previous Next Carmen Balsa tries out her new fan as she rides on a train in Europe. photo by: Rachel Gomez Bryony Blood Friends at UF Allyson Cooper Ashley Awtxey
