<p>What colleges/universities are known for having good study abroad programs?</p>
<p>University of Delaware has a great one, you can go to Antartica if you want?</p>
<p>NYU if I'm not mistaken.</p>
<p>Evaluating the study abroad options at the colleges on your list is reasonable, but asking for a list isn't helpful. Most colleges are perfectly willing to approve programs through other universities (like Arcadia or IFSA-Butler), so study abroad to almost anywhere really isn't that hard to arrange. It might be wise to check out how many students at each college study abroad when evaluating study abroad programs at the colleges you're interested in.</p>
<p>The exception would be colleges on the quarter system, which often conflict with study abroad programs. These usually have their own programs.</p>
<p>Syracuse University's Division of International Programs Abroad (DIPA) is well-known for study abroad programs. The programs in Florence and London are particularly popular.</p>
<p>TUFTS</p>
<p>Just go to Tufts. They have programs pretty much everywhere (Ghana to France).</p>
<p>But any major university will have ties to certain programs. Although only some will have their own programs/schools abroad.</p>

We have houses (they are really like mansions) in Vienna, Venice, and London. In addition we have programs in China, Japan, Spain, France for semesters and summer programs in Benin, Morocco, Cuba, Nepal, England, Peru, Mexico, Honduras, and Guatamala. However, I know people who are going with other schools such as Boston University and NYU. Study Abroad is really encouraged here, and I plan to go to the Venice House (Casa Artom) when I am a Junior.</p>
<p>Kalamazoo</a> College has one of the best study abroad programs anywhere. 80-85% of the student body will study abroad during their four years.</p>

<p>Having been through the study abroad program selection with my daughter, that is really not the right question to be asking. It won't provide you any useful information.</p>
<p>The questions you should be asking:</p>
<p>a) What percentage of the students at each school on your list study abroad? Does that include short winter or summer programs? Or just full semester?</p>
<p>b) Does the school limit you to just their programs? Or have an extensive list of approved programs? Generally, the schools that don't limit you will provide more varied options.</p>
<p>c) Are the programs concentrated in the historically popular European locations? Or, are there many opportunities in Asia, South America, Africa, India, etc.?</p>
<p>d) How does each school handle finances? Some schools have you continue to pay the school (minus financial aid) and the school covers all the study abroad expense. Others have you pay for study abroad and charge an administrative fee. This makes a bid difference in program selection as study abroad programs range considerably in price. The best arrangement will depend: Are you on financial aid? How much does the college cost? How much does your study abroad program cost?</p>
<p>e) Are the programs just picking up 25 kids from your college and plopping them down at a university abroad with professors from your college? Or, are the programs more adventuresome and immersive?</p>
<p>michigan state is great too.</p>
<p>It's not just a question of which schools have good S-A programs, but also how competitive they are. Many involve an intense application process, and even with the right GPA, it's all about essay writing and statement of purpose. (Think college apps. all over again :( )</p>
<p>81% of Davidson students study abroad during their 4 years. You get a full course-load taught by Davidson professors and you get Davidson credits. The downside...it's not a vacation, expect to work. I second Wake Forest also.</p>
<p>Newsweek voted Tufts the best school for study abroad. Furthermore, Tufts is known for emphasizing internationalism and public service in its curriculum so even when you're not abroad, that sense of internationlism is still there.</p>
<p>Michigan State has the largest Study Abroad Program in the U.S, though I don't know how many of their students actually take advantage of it.</p>
<p>I am also considering study abroad, and am researching schools to go to. I am interested in Asia... China, Japan, Korea... Can anybod give suggestions about which country/school would be the best experience for the money? I intend on learning the language.</p>
<p>Carleton has a good asian studies program. I know a kid who goes there who's abroad in Japan right now.</p>
<p>Yeah
most of the schools mentioned have great study abroad</p>
<p>and
if im not mistaken
NYU won some big award the past few years in a row for having the best study abroad.</p>
<p>But
I can say pretty surely that every large top Public and private institution have pretty good programs (well lots of them do)
and
Top LAC's have great ones too (I heard that Colgate, Mcalester, Kalamazoo, Middlebury, and Carleton have great ones)</p>
<p>Dartmouth and Middlebury have amazing college run study abroad programs.</p>
<p>Michigan State has a very good study abroad program</p>
