<p>Does anyone have experience w/ an African study abroad program. D2 is interested in going there next fall. I think it sounds exciting, but H & I are concerned about safety. Her University will not allow students to attend schools in areas w/ travel restrictions from the US. (Kenya). </p>
<p>But any other feedback about Africa would be appreciated.</p>
<p>Anyone? Africa experience?</p>
<p>These two are amazing and credits transfer to almost every school.</p>

<p>Thank - you!</p>
<p>D2 is also very interested in Africa. She attends SUNY Brockport. They have 2 programs in Africa, one a summer research in Kenya, the other in Ghana. She is a freshmen so we have some time to look into it. Chech the Brockport website for more info.</p>
<p>vahevala-- Be careful-the U.S. State Department has issued a travel warning for Kenya. Our D2’s school will not let students participate in programs in this country.</p>
<p>This is what they write on their website:</p>
<p>NOTE: The U.S. State Department has issued a travel warning for this country. Current practice at xxxxxxxxx does not permit students to participate in off-campus study programs located in countries for which the U.S. State Department has issued a travel warning. Please consult the State Department Travel Warnings website for the most up-to-date travel warning information.</p>
<p>This is why I was inquiring about Africa.</p>
<p>D spent part of her semester abroad program in South Africa, mostly in/around Capetown. She went with the International Honors Program (IHP) for 4 months studying “Health & Community.” She was also in Geneva, India, & China.</p>
<p>UGA has program in South Africa. Campus looks beautiful.</p>
<p>Students from our town have gone to both S. Africa and Senegal with very good experiences. Senegal is ostensibly a French speaking exchange, though Wolof is the language used in the streets. </p>
<p>S. Africa scares me due to the crime rates, but the students I’ve known are very happy with their exchanges.</p>
