Yay for study abroad programs! Best experiences of my life!

Anna....it's study abroad, which means going to school in another country. Not study a broad which is the business you are in (couldn't help myself).

Both have been valuable and enjoyable experiences for me!

In the somewhat impaired condition in which I attended class during my just-out-of-high-school undergrad days, I may have been physically in this country, but probably qualified for being on a different planet.

I agree with Anna. Study abroad for a year. Best and most informative year of my life.
And for Snap, I studied plenty of beer abroad without the aid of Uncle Sam, although he helped later.

I once greeted Japanese school children as they arrived to school.
I was just finishing dinner, at the time.

I graduated from a German high school and then returned to the US for college. I knew that I would be able to get college credit for many of the classes I took during the last couple years of high school, so I looked into getting credit for my English classes, They finally gave me most of the required credits when I gave them our reading list for foreign language English class, which was equivalent to your average AP English class in the US. They thought I'd be deficient! They also thought I'd be deficient in History. Ha! I didn't have to take a single History or Western Civ class in college when I showed them what we covered in History class over there.
I got a pretty excellent education over there and it was also fun to go out to the bars with my high school buddies.
