<p>Hi everyone, I'm graduating from high school this January and was hoping to spend the semester studying abroad. I'm not really picky, I would be happy volunteering, studying or doing a tour. I have been trying to figure something out for months but cannot decide. I was thinking of doing a tour in Australia with a group but keep changing my mind. Anybody know of anything that's less than 12k, would be possible for a 17 year-old in my position, and would have somesort of a group element with younger people? I have traveled abroad on my own before, I spent a semester abroad in Germany and flew back alone during my spring break to visit friends and went to Ireland. Any suggestions would be really appreciated! Thanks!</p>
<p>There are few colleges that do freshman year abroad. NYU, Syracuse, Arcadia, etc. You earn college credits and travel abroad at the same time.</p>
