One great way to use your college summer breaks for learning, enrichment, and fun is to spend it studying abroad. A summer study abroad session gives you a chance at experiencing culture, language, independence, and a slate of classes you might not be able to get at home. If you use your summer to study abroad, you might get to take the fall off for a change, or get back to class in the autumn ahead of yourself in the credit chase. There are plenty of things you can do to make your summer study abroad session a time for learning and fun.

  1. Find the "best fit" program. So much depends on the program when it comes to having a great time studying abroad. Before you sign up for any certain program, consider a few things. Of course, consider where you want to study- first the country, than the specific locale: famous city, quiet countryside? If you're not sure what's located where in your country of choice, by all means, ask the program advisor or a student who's been there (or better yet, a native of the area...). Consider what you need to study - do you need certain courses for your major or do you have some leeway? Not all study abroad programs offer the same courses, so it's important to check what you need against the available classes. You also might want to look into work and internship opportunities.

    Of course you will also want to consider how much the program costs and whether it will fit your budget. You might want to look into what sort of financial aid is available. Consider the amount of independence you want. Some programs offer a lot of support, while others will let you alone. Some put you in an English-speaking environment, and others will let you try your luck in the native tongue. These are a lot of things to mull over before you pick your summer program, but the right program, again, is key to the overall experience.
