Where to go?

<p>I am considering studying abroad next semester or year, haven't decided yet. I have narrowed my choices down to four. Copenhagen Denmark, Brighton England, Torino Italy, or Bilbao Spain. I will be a junior next year and am an accounting major. Haven't decided on a minor yet but considering European Studies, International Business, or Foreign Language if I go to Italy or Spain. I am only fluent in English but willing to learn. I don't know a whole lot about any of these places but the programs all fit my academic needs. Just looking for a little advice about which one to pick so if anyone could help me out it would be great.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Well, if you’re at all interested in learning a language, don’t go to England! I think the other 3 look like much cooler locales anyway.</p>

<p>Of the three foreign languages you’re thinking of studying (Danish, Italian, and Spanish), Spanish is by far the most useful for most Americans. Knowing ANY foreign language is a valuable asset, but Spanish is currently the most commonly spoken second language in the U.S.</p>

<p>As far as whether to study for a semester or a year, STUDY FOR A YEAR! A semester is not enough. I studied in Argentina for a semester and to this day wish I’d studied a whole year there. Everyone I’ve talked to about this agrees with me. One semester is just not enough time to soak up a language and culture. So if you can, go for a year.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
