<p>When you take off a semester in college and study abroad, do you have to go through the school? or can you go through some private programs and still get the course credit that way?? Just curious.</p>
<p>My d went thru CIEE an had a very good experience…recently at orientation for Fulbright scholars she realized of the 20 or so scholars going to her host country, 8 had done their semester abroad thru CIEE</p>
<p>Chances are your Uni will have an agreement on place with several universities in the country you’d like to go to. This will include a tuition fees waiver and may also come with some money for living expenses. Credits earned at the partner institution would usually alsobe honoured without any major problems. Your university should be a good place to start looking.</p>
