Getting tired of your campus? Study abroad!

If you've been looking for a change of pace as a student or seeking opportunities for your students, StudyAbroad.com is the site you've been looking for. It is a clearinghouse for study abroad programs that is well-organized and fairly comprehensive. All of the programs listed have been in operation for a long time, so you know you or students won't be stranded in a foriegn country in the midst of a natural disaster while the team leader is back home (this actually happened to me - don't let it happen to you). Most of the programs offer college credit, and some even give the possibility of a degree from the foreign university. There are a wealth of locales to chose from among the member sites at high school, undergraduate, and graduate levels. Moreover, the emphasis of each program is different, from language improvement to service learning. Financial aid is available for some programs, too. If you really want to see a country, and not just its tourist sites, study abroad is a great way to do it, and studyabroad.com is a great site to get you on your way. Bon voyage!
