<p>Hi everyone, </p>
<p>I am planning to graduate in Spring 2014 with a Bachelors in Materials Science, but there is a conflict between two required courses. I can still participate in the commencement, but filing for graduation will be delayed to Summer 2014 instead of Spring 2014. So, I thought about studying abroad for my last required class if I cannot take the two required courses concurrently due to 1 hour overlap. Meaning, I will have to pick 1 of the required class to take in Spring 2014. One class is only offered once a year, and the other is offered all year round (the one with summer abroad). </p>
<p>I wonder if studying abroad in Italy is a good idea? I'll try to petition to take the two courses in Spring concurrently though. Unless I am super convinced to go, I will start finishing my application to go Study Abroad and graduate in Summer 2014. My main concern is, if I can take the two classes and graduate Spring 2014 rather than delaying to Summer 2014, is it worth delaying my diploma/graduation for Studying Abroad?</p>
