[quote=Anonymous]You don't mention if this is a consideration, but back when I did a semester abroad, my financial aid only carried over to some of the approved study abroad programs.  So I went on one of those.  The trade-off was that the program I was on did not integrate our classes into a local university and instead taught the study-abroad Americans separately.  I would have preferred to be in class with local students.  So that is one thing to think about as you sort through options.

In terms of facilitating other travel, I think spring semester (if your child is thinking of only one semester) is preferable.  If the program has a spring break, the weather will be improving in most northern hemisphere locations (or if they are in Europe or Japan and ski, that could also be an option), and traveling with your rail and hostel card after classes end in the summer is a fantastic growth experience.  If they go somewhere in the southern hemisphere, that changes of course .... but post-program summer travel would back into the December holidays.[/quote]
