Studying abroad? EAP is the place to be! The UC's Education Abroad Program has so much to offer. At their office one can find information/advice for people in a particular major. One can also sort by country and decide after reviewing countries of interest. Regardless whether you are sure you wanna study abroad or have a slight thought about it, you should visit the EAP office to learn more about making it happen.
Personally, I would like to study abroad in either Germany or Japan. My only obstacle is learning the language, but I am sure that I could do it if I keep at it. I am also thinking about maybe even going this upcoming summer if I have enough units to be considered a sophomore. I will definitely be stopping by the EAP office in the near future to start getting advice from people who have participated in the program. That is another great thing about EAP, the people there went abroad so they can speak from experience.
I hope you are also interested in going abroad and I want to encourage you to give it a try, even if you do not think you will like it, try it one summer.
Seriously, EAP sounds really awesome. Definitely go for it, don't worry about the language barrier. First of all, there's plenty of time to start learning. Secondly, both Germany and Japan have a pretty sizable English speaking population. You honestly don't have to worry about it. I myself am considering studying abroad in China, since my family has been really upset that as a Chinese, I can't speak the language.
ReplyDeleteI thought the EAP visit was super interesting as well; there was tons of valuable information there. I think both Germany and Japan would be awesome places to study abroad because they are such interesting places and there is so much to do in each of those countries. I was thinking about studying abroad somewhere in Europe, and I think that if I do end up doing that, the best time will be in the summer, just like you said. I hope I get the opportunity to study abroad, as I am sure it would be an extremely memorable experience.
