Romance Linguistics and Study Abroad

<p>Hi!</p>

<p>I just started my senior year of HS today, and I still haven't decided which colleges I want to apply to.</p>

<p>I want to major in Romance language linguistics, specifically Spanish. I also want to study in Spain for as long as possible without actually enrolling in a Spanish school.</p>

<p>I live in Pennsylvania, and I'd prefer a school that relatively close, either in PA, NY, MD, NJ, or DE. Could someone recommend me some schools?</p>

<p>With regards to getting in, I'm a good student who takes honors and AP classes, and I tutor inmigrants in English outside of school. However, my family is lower-middle class, so we almost have to take advantage of financial aid. How should I begin the process?</p>

<p>Thanks ahead of time!</p>

<p>start with one of the guide books such as the Fiske guide or Petersons Guide. Also if you search on the web you can find lots of info about study-abroad programs.</p>

<p>Dickinson, Georgetown, NYU, Syracuse, U Penn, maybe Dartmouth or Middlebury, maybe Arcadia U</p>

<p>Swarthmore. 45% of all Swats go abroad for at least a semester.</p>

<p>I forgot to mention that I don't want to go to a very religious school. I don't care if they have a religious affiliation, It's just that I'm an atheist and I don't want to be forced to go to church services.</p>

<p>So no schools like BJU or Oral Roberts or anything like that.</p>

<p>As for the above replies, those seem like good suggestions. I was actually looking at Arcadia because they seem to use their study abroad program as a main selling point.</p>

<p>Thanks everyone!</p>
