[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What other country??? Are we talking Canada? Did you go to college OP? Did you ever skip class??[/quote]

Op here. DC is supposed to be in country x for study abroad. They went to Italy with friends long weekend, missed classes. After the initial where tf are you text chat and what about school question, I got over it shaking my head. But curious what drum parents would do in that situation.[/quote]

omg!!! cut the apron strings!! study abroad is about travel and experiencing world culture. not about an academic grind.  [/quote]
 
Heck. yes! Cutting class is OK periodically if you are managing the course and the expectations. And do it for fun good things, like, road trip to another college for a concert, traveling to another city, first perfect spring day to just hang out on the quad on blankets. [/quote]

If you need more information on the details and the rationale (this is the most serious onion article I have ever read: https://www.theonion.com/account-manager-fondly-remembers-day-in-college-when-ev-1819565644[/quote]

it’s part of being an adult to learn how to make the tradeoffs between fun and work properly.

[b]the only thing I would be disappointed about is if my kid in a study abroad program was hanging out exclusively with Americans and speaking English all the time.[/b] [/quote]

LOL.  I studied abroad.  My spouse studied abroad.  All of our kids studied abroad.  Whether it's a foreign language program or not (and most of ours were), you're spending the overwhelming majority of your time hanging out and traveling with the other Americans on your program.  The only exception is if you're cute and female, in which case you get attention from foreign guys who think American women are easy.
