Hey. Im going abroad with my uni for my 3rd year to Belgrade, Serbia & Montenegro! Its gonna be wicked I cant wait......oh and Im going to a language course in Belgrade in Sept for 3 weeks.....:D It will be amazing, ive travelled around Eastern Europe and I love it, it will be so strange actually living there, not as a tourist! The thing which Im looking forward to the most is being able to speak fluent Serbian! =D Adam

wow mate admire your enthusiasm. good luck with mastering serbian :)

am from s&m :) myself, currently struggling with basic japanese in osaka.
 
I just found out that the Law Program I want to enter has an abroad program for Information Technology and the Law in Sydney. I'm really interested and think I am going to try for summer 2006.
 
You should do it for sure if you have the opportunity, I just returned this past summer and I already wish I was back in Europe. The best six months I have ever had.

I was in Germany for a month after high school graduation. I didn't study there, but I loved it there.:)

PM me with any questions you might have.
 
was supposed to study abroad and didnt end up having enuf money. really regretted it so when i graduated i got a 6 month working visa for the uk to make up for it! absolutlely loved it there! missed it so mush that i went back last new years and im going again this new years:) some of the best blers ull ever meet are in england!
 
I'll be spending next summer studying Shakespeare in England. It should be fun and I can't wait to get out of the US.
 
I plan on studying abroad in Austria next fall. I really can't wait. I am really looking forward to meeting new people and getting better at german. The pictures I have seen just blow my mind.
 
I have reseached a lot of programs but I am curious to find out some that you guys have personally gone through (Website, etc...)
 
I went to China through a nearby college's program, without any chinese languange experience... i learned chinese and learned about traditional chinese medicine... it freakin rocked!
 
I'm currently studying in Malaysia. It completely changed me, and I absolutely love it. After living in the same village for 14 years in England, going to school with the same people, going to the exact same places every weekend it was a massive change.

I went from being shy to outgoing, from having a small group of friends to being friends with the whole grade, from not doing homework to actually doing it; it completely changed me and i would never take it back.

Peace
 
I haven't.

I could... I was thinking about joining the Peace Corp for a while. And heading to South America or South East Asia and doing one of their medical programs.

But now that I'm going into naturopathic medicine, I'm not sure what opportunities I'd have. There might be different conferences I could attend, or maybe join a volunteer team to go to another country.

And I would love to go. :)
 
I'm in the midst of planning/getting my shit together to study abroad in one of two places - Kingston University in London, or, where I would much rather go, University of Utrecht in the Netherlands.

Utrecht is the shit. I studied there last fall at "University College Utrecht" which is more or less the English speaking branch of Utrecht University. Seriously, I had the time of my life - although at times it was intensely tripped out (after all this is Holland were talking about) in the end im really glad I went there. I was able to take some of the most interesting classes ive ever taken before as well (and this is coming from a UC Berkeley student).

By the way, after the first month you will be over traveling to Amsterdam. Utrecht has almost everything Amsterdam can offer - minus the jacked up high prices, trash, and homeless crack heads. Its really a great city.
