For many college students, the opportunity to study in another country is a once in a lifetime experience. Whether it is the chance to study your chosen profession immersed in an environment that doesn’t exist in this country or perhaps you just want to get some life experience by traveling and seeing the world, studying abroad has become an extremely popular avenue for many students.
The dollar is down about 20% against the Euro and about 6% against the Pound. Europe has traditionally been a top destination for students but is seeing a decline due to the drop in the value of the dollar. Countries in Asia, Africa, and South America have become a much better value for those looking to study abroad.
The most recent numbers indicate that nearly 250,000 students participated in the program during the 2005/06 calender school year. While each college has their own set of rules and regulations for studying abroad, there are a few very helpful sites to check out for more information.
