University students - have you ever thought about doing a semester or a year in another country? How about Africa? Belgium? or a castle in Oxford, England?
It is the time of year to begin checking out the study abroad programs. Students usually learn about these in first year, apply and prepare in 2nd year, and attend 3rd year. Some students go through the process faster - but what wonderful opportunities there are.
If you want to learn more about opportunities from Canadian universities, check out your university exchange programs on their websites. You can also apply to a listserv like study_abroad@lists.uvic.ca - the information you will receive from there can apply to students from across Canada. It is one of better sources I have found.
And if you are lucky enough to go to University of Victoria, or near enough to make a visit on October 19, they are having their International Opportunities Fair from 10:00 - 2:00 p.m. Check it out and talk to representatives from may overseas institutions!
Oh, to be young again... youth have so many opportunities these days.
