Study Abroad Fair- DUC- 10/4/2016

I recently attended the Study Abroad fair.  Going into the fair I have always had an interest in studying abroad but never knew that much information on it.  This event informs students about the many opportunities in different countries whether it’s in the summer or during the school year to study abroad for a semester or more.  At the fair they had many different booths explaining the trips and had people there who had been on the trip to inform you about it. Studying abroad in a different country can benefit you in many ways.  One way is the experience, how different people in the world live.  It is good to see first-hand how different cultures, religions and beliefs take place.  Another good think about these programs is seeing the geography of these countries. The world has so many different features and landmarks that we don’t even know about!  Most of the programs focus on certain majors and therefore credits only count for certain majors as well.  The trips are not only for people whose majors correspond with it.  The trips are open to anybody.  One set back to someone to not going may be the cost of going on these trips.  Financial aid and scholarships are available to anyone who applies and could potentially help tremendously.  Studying abroad also looks good on a resume when applying for jobs.  On these trips you will have experienced so many different things and learn many things that can be useful in everyday life.  It also peaked my interest in attending more fairs or similar events to this one.  After going to this fair I increased my interest and knowledge on the many different experiences that can benefit you from studying abroad in a different country.  I will most defiantly be looking into going to Australia for Health Promotion.
