<p>Anyone know of some great things to do during the winter break of academic year? Is it common to go abroad (just to visit, volunteer, or whatever)?</p>
<p>I have a 1500 scholarship for the winter break of this upcoming academic year and would love to use it wisely. Any thoughts?</p>
<p>How longs your break? </p>
<p>Last year I got home the 23rd and had a two week break… so Idk how I could do anything with that.</p>
<p>Just see if you can cash out the scholarship, or buy books for next semester</p>
<p>If your school has it, you could do an intense winter session and get some classes out of the way.<br>
You could also go volunteer somewhere warm and get a nice tan:)</p>
<p>oh, you mean like an externship? I know that UMDNJ has a dental externship over winter break 
I’m sure if you look hard enough you could find some…</p>
<p>My winter break this year is one week longer than my winter break this past year. So my winter break is about 5 weeks this year. </p>
<p>I would love to use it for something else, but in order to get the funds I have to write up a proposal of what I will be doing with the money. So basically, it has to get approved first. </p>
<p>I’m liking the idea of volunteering somewhere.</p>
