study abroad?

<p>hellooooo</p>

<p>i was wondering if any of you current stanford students have taken part in some stanford study abroad program and if you could tell us about your experiences with it</p>

<p>when did you do it? did it conflict with other goals / coursework? how's the study abroad office? do you have to know the foreign language? (or are there language intensive things before you go or something?) im just really curious - i know i probably wouldnt even consider studying abroad until sophomore / junior year... but all the same, haha</p>

<p>thanks</p>

<p>oh whoops, i just realized i could have posted this under the 'questions' thread... but, eh... its getting kinda random and cluttered</p>
