[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]A semester is enough, don't need a year. [/b] I did a semester abroad 20 years ago. Worth it! :) Tuition was the same, but your son will need money for all of the extras -- trips, souvenirs, eating. Have him go with a semester abroad that his school has -- he will then bond with people from his own school while abroad.[/quote] I disagree, particularly if the student is in a country where s/he is communicating in the local (not English) language. I did a year in Spain 30 years ago and by the end of the year had achieved a comfort with the language that semester-only students didn't have enough time to achieve. Also, from a cultural immersion standpoint, you learn and experience much more over an academic year than over 4-5 months.[/quote]
