If you ask any college graduate about studying abroad, you will get one of two responses. 1. It was one of the best experiences of my college career. Or 2. I wish I would have done it. The majority of students who do not take advantage of their school’s study abroad or travel study programs end up regretting it.

Another great resource is the Study Abroad Fair taking place this Thursday, September 14th from 11-2PM in East Hall. Faculty will be there to answer questions regarding different trips you are interested in.

Student Perspective: For those of you who believe that “I could never afford to do that” I feel you. I decided several weeks ago that I was going to study abroad for a semester, and I was shocked to find out that the cost of these trips are much LESS than I had previously anticipated. For example, Sweden is a direct exchange program. Meaning that you pay the Winona State tuition. So before you write it off, explore all the international programs with complete due diligence and see what’s available to you. I promise you’ll be surprised. -Allen Richardson
