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.
