<p>just out of curiousity, if you have studied abroad, did you you like it?</p>
<p>Currently studying abroad, and i LOVE it.</p>
<p>I’m at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland. If you’re at all interested in the city, i’d be happy to give some info.</p>
<p>Another vote for Scotland.</p>
<p>Son loves it. Everyone is super friendly.</p>
<p>Hey, my friend studied abroad in Buenos Aires and absolutely loved it. Here is part of an article that she wrote about her experience. That is the place that I really want to go. </p>
<p>Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina, is commonly referred to as The Paris of South America because of its European influence and cosmopolitan feel. The culture of Buenos Aires is very rich and the inhabitants of the Rio de la Plata region of the country, who are known as Porteños are extremely proud of their nationality. Buenos Aires is the perfect place to study abroad because it is such a large city with so much to do and see. The nightlife in Buenos Aires is perhaps the best in all of South America, because the Argentine lifestyle can be described as ir de joda, which loosely translates to, partying. more at: [Studying</a> Abroad in Buenos Aires, Argentina | Travel for Students, by Students](<a href=“http://mycollegeroadtrip.com/studying-abroad-buenos-aires-argentina]Studying”>http://mycollegeroadtrip.com/studying-abroad-buenos-aires-argentina)</p>
<p>i wanted to study abroad so i could learn a language either spanish or french</p>
<p>thanks Maria</p>
<p>I’m “studying abroad” for my four years of undergrad at the American University of Paris. I love it. It’s very international.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I’m curious, why not the University of London Institute in Paris? As far as i know, the American University of Paris isn’t accredited in Europe. It seems silly to study on a continent where your degree wont be recognised.</p>
<p>I may be wrong, please correct me if i am.</p>
<p>It’s not accredited in Europe but since it’s under the American system, a lot of grads end up working in Europe anyway. You make a lot of contacts at this school, and as the profs come from pretty much everywhere (I’ve had a few British ones and they all come from Cambridge, no idea why. I’ve had a few Germans and, of course, French, too). SO i suppose even if we’re not accredited in Europe, we still get employment here if we want it. (There’s still a lot of kids that go to the States for grad school and/or jobs).</p>
<p>Also, it’s for people who want to stay in the American system because of the whole “liberal arts” way of going about undergrad. Basically, it allows you to explore before pinpointing exactly what you want to major in. For example, I’m a politics major, but I’ve taken film, psychology, and architecture classes, just because I thought the topics would be interesting. The school is really international, too, so a lot of people come just for the fact that they’re constantly going to be in contact with people from all over the world.</p>
<p>In short, I think that’s why. I could go on and on about why I chose my school over a French one but then I think it would just turn into boring rambling at one point or another, lol.</p>
<p>I’m studied abroad in Australia I LOVED it! Hit me up if you have any questions. Cheers :-)</p>
<p>How much does it cost to live in Edinburgh for 37 weeks (academic term)?</p>
<p>Is 7000 pounds enough for a international?</p>
<p>What about St Andrews cost of living?</p>
<p>Hey, I’m thinking of studying abroad in the fall of this year. However, I’m from the desert of Arizona (Today’s temp was 75 degrees in the dead of winter), and am wondering if Scotland/England would be too cold in the winter?</p>
<p>What about Australia? What is the weather like there August-Dec?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>If temperature is the make or break issue for you (and I really DON’T think it should be! Live a little outside of your comfort zone. Otherwise why bother studying abroad) then the UK will be far too cold for you, given that 75F is much higher than the average summer temperature (Feel free to Google it. Wikipedia says Scotland average July temp 62.4)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Again, it’s not difficult to google “Australia average temperature”.
Aug-Dec is the winter/spring in Australia. But Australia is huge. Sydney and Melbourne will be colder than 75F at that time. But it’s very hot in the desert… You need to choose somewhere like Darwin or Cairns which is hot and humid all the time.</p>
<p>Im leaving in a week to study abroad in Buenos Aires, Argentina for 4 months, then an internship in Santiago, Chile for 4 month. If you are interested in S. America I can share some of the information I’ve found and I will also be having my own blog to provide my experience.</p>
<p>I would be very interested to hear how your experience is going. I am looking to study abroad my junior year and will be starting my sophomore year in the fall</p>
<p>I suggest Russia, </p>
<p>The country is full of history and culture. The education is phenomenal (depending on what uni you go to)</p>
<p>Just a great place.</p>
<p>Anyone study abroad in Spain or Italy? I’m thinking of doing it sometime before I graduate. Were the classes difficult? Were professors understanding if you weren’t fluent in the language?</p>
<p>If one studies abroad in Russia, do they need to be able to speak Russian? My son only speaks English. He took the classics, Ancient Greek and Latin, in high school. He’s hoping to take some engineering courses or do an engineering internship in England, but no success finding anything. Are there any Russian engineering programs? I bet they would be amazing, with the history of the Space Race and the Cold War.</p>
<p>Russia really isn’t like other European countries where most people speak at least a little English. If your son plans to go there, he should have at least intermediate language ability…</p>
<p>^^^Thanks, eternal. I’ve been told by so many people that language is not a problem when studying abroad, so I’m glad you set me straight on that. I first thought son wanted to go to England only because of the language limitation, but he really is interested in seeing the country. I’ve suggested Ireland as an option, but he prefers England. And he doesn’t want to go just to see the country. He wants to either take engineering classes or do an engineering internship. Thanks for the help!</p>
