Daring to Go Studying abroad can be one of the most satisfying and rewarding experiences of a student ' s life. Students studying abroad dive into a new culture and experience a new world. Living in a foreign country gives students a different perspective on their academic studies and contributes im- mensely to their personal growth and confi- dence. A student who goes overseas to broaden their educational spectrum is put at an advantage in today ' s global economy. Students who take advantage of the experi- ence see the world in a new light, live in a culture different than their own and, in some cases, become proficient in another language. Studying abroad offers an oppor- tunity that many Temple students take: gaining valuable world knowledge and memories that will last for tomorrows to come. — Rachael Anderson International Programs Jhodemd (jeaiu Rome Japan London Sutuwteft PnognQinS: Rome Japan Ghana Paris Spain Scotland Qx ovqt Pjiognotus, East Anglia, England Hamburg, Germany .Tubingen, Germany Puerto Rico Photographs courtesj o ' International Programs Janfi i ' WMill a f-j dm KJ s Sm i ■ I I W ' H .

Staying up late I One thing that teachers constantly advocate is a way to improve one ' s ' study. Studying, even though it may i be a sure fire way of assuring a good grade, almost always proves a te- dious and time consuming task. There are many different ways that students study for exams or just for knowledge of subject matter. Some people study while riding the sub- way to school as a matter of both passing the time and learning some- thing. Other people spend hours upon hours in the library research- ing and reading in hopes that their i efforts will land them on the Dean ' s list. Scientific research on the sub- ject of studying has shown that re- writing notes can improve memo- rization; this is another widely used approach. One way of studying that can prove useful for even the big- gest dolt is associating what one is studying with something that is al- ready familiar to that person. An example would be finding a relationship between wrestling and philosophy and then associating those together. Flash cards are not nearly as exciting as one might think, but they nonetheless provide a fast way of memorizing words. Studying by oneself is lonely and can make it more of a task than the fun experience it should be. Grab a partner and, presto! Studying sud- denly becomes fun. Partners are helpful in studying because they may have more knowledge on an- other subject. Two heads are al- ways better then one! — Ryan Daley Photo By: Hiu Kwong Yau Who ' s to blame for finals? Students say: Instructors are to blame for the long hours and sleepless nights. Professors say: The procrastination of the students is what makes finals so hard.
