Have you ever wanted to go to another country and see how other student learn? Studying abroad is great opportunity for students to grow and gain great experience. I have not done a study abroad but I have a couple of friends that have or will study abroad in different countries. I will like to talk about the places they visited, how much they enjoyed the experience, and give brief description of the areas.
-Europe-
Half my management and marketing class just got back from five weeks in Europe. All I have heard is great things about their trip. Some of the cities they visited were Brussels, Edinburgh, and Antwerpen.
Brussels, Belgium has grown significantly since it was founded in the 10th century. It has now over 1.8 million in population. Brussels is the main center for international politics. Dutch and French are the main languages in Brussels. The weather in Brussels is similar to Seattle in that it rains a lot but rarely snows there.
Edinburgh is the second largest city Scotland. Edinburgh is a historical centers of the Enlightenment. Edinburgh has large pubs, clubs and restaurants. They have wonderful shopping areas. Edinburgh also has a professional football (soccer) teams. So there is a lot of things for students to do when they study abroad.
-Spain-
One of my friends is going to Valencia, Spain next semester. She gets to spend the entire semester there living with a host family. Valencia has a history of being a romantic city. Valencia is the third largest city in Spain. Valencia also has many ancient buildings from the 13th to 15th century. Valencia has many other activities and sights to see for students.
These are some of the places students have an opportunity to study abroad at.
