Read K. Anthony Appiah's piece in Presence: "Learn Statistics. Go Abroad." Tell us in 200 words where you would wish to study if you could spend a semester abroad. What attracts you about that place?
If i could spend a semester abroad, i would love to go to ireland, or guatamala. I would want to go to Ireland, because i am 90 percent irish. I would like to learn a little more about my heritage, and were exactly my ancestors came from. My sister also studied abroad, and she went to Ireland. She said it was the best ever. She liked it because the geography is beutiful i guess. I would love to be able to see it up close with my own eyes some day. If i could not go to Ireland, i would love to go to guatamala. this would be my second choice, because i have been taking spanish for 7 years, and it would be fun to put it to use. All of my spanish teachers also would talk about how beautiful the land is. They also said the weather is always a perfect temperature. Hopefully someday i will be able to go to one of these places, if i'm rich enough. =P
That was one of my dreams was to study abroad. I would love to see Tokyo, Japan. Or maybe even England. I love to travel it is one of my favorite things to do. I have never left the country before, and I think it would be an adventure to do so. I was thinking about doing study abroad but so many things seem to be against it. I don't have the money to do it first off, and second i don't know if I could deal being gone for that long. I would probably still do it though, if it wasn't so expensive. I am in college with only grants, loans, scholarships, and nothing else. My family isn't very rich and i don't have very much money saved up. I wish that our school had a way for students like me to be able to go. That would be a chance of a lifetime.
I agree with K. Anthony Apia i would love to study abroad. If i could study abroad in a different country it would probably be Spain or Paris. I heard so much about those places from friends. They say it’s so beautiful and peaceful over at them places. Plus i have never left the country before either and it would be a wonderful experience to adapt to a different country and environment. Like Anthony appiah says you need one more language to leave college so why not study that in a different country? If i had the kind of money and the school agrees to it i would study abroad either in Spain or Paris. The thing with me is that I wouldn’t be able to do it by myself so I would ask for a friend to join me. I think it will also benefit us so we learn and experience how it is to be independent.
My country of choice would either be Japan or New Zealand. I have so many freinds from Japan and Hokado, the northern most island, gets on average 57 feet of snow a year. Visiting there would be so much fun and re-trying to learn the language would be difficult. New Zealand in our summer is winter. Many pro snowboard and legends have came straight outta there. I love the landscape and the snow is always prime. I have a few buddies who have gone and its nothing but great replies. My goal through studying abroad is to gain knowledge of my surrondings and learn new things. Helping other people learn American things and ways of doing things is something i already do today as a snowboard instructor. Having the freedom to visit and enjoy my stay is why I would love to study abroad, oh, and get then credits!
If I could study a semester abroad, I would want to go to Australia. I would go to Australia because I heard the land is absolutely amazing. The animals down there are really cool, like Kahlua Bears, Kangaroos, and all different species of reptiles. Australia is such an amazing place. With the beaches, the jungle, and all the amazing architecture, why wouldn't you want to go there. The people there also have cool accents. If I had the money, and the opportunity to go to Australia I definitely would have to take that opportunity and go. I haven’t really been out side of the U.S, except for Canada once or twice. To get the opportunity to go to Australia would be a great experience. Like what Rob said, I don’t know if I would be able to go somewhere like that alone. I would much rather go and share the experience with a close friend. It would make the trip that much better.
If I could go anywhere abroad for a semester it would be to England. When I was little, I wanted to ride the fairest wheel called the London Eye. That phase went and when my mother showed me her pictures from her honeymoon with her ex-husband. She went to England, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland I believe. England was so pretty from what I could tell from the pictures. The places I would go too, the London Eye of course, skate on the open air rink right next to the London Eye, ride a two story bus, and go see Big Ben. I probably would also take a tour of some Castles or museums. I also would love to go to Austria and Poland for a summer abroad. My great grandfather on my mom side came over from Austria to the United States at the age of six. I want to go see the town he was born in and the area where the house stood. I would like to go to Poland to see my family on my dad side, which still lives over there. They came to the United States once, and I got to meet them. They were really nice and I would love to see where my ancestors grew up.
If I were to study abroad I would either want to go to Italy or possibly a South American country like Brazil or Argentina. I really like the South American and Italian cultures, especially Italy. I love Italian food and the cities look really nice. I think it would be cool to speak Italian as well. I have a friend who can speak a little Italian and it sounds real nice. There would be so many places to see in Italy. In South America it seems like the weather is always nice there. It seems really relaxed there and alot of fun.
If I could go anywhere aboard for a semester it would be France. A few friends of mine have been there on a foreign exchange. They all loved it. One of them even bought a CD from there. The music they listen to is kind of like the stuff Fonze listens to. Also, the students from France came to America and spent a few weeks here. I now have some friends in France that I only get to talk to when I get online. They are very nice people. It would be so cool to see some friends that I haven't seen for along time. Not only that, but experiencing another culture would really open my eyes to a new dimension. It would be a struggle for a semester because I don't know French. I like challenges and I think that this is one I would like to face.
If I could study abroad, I would love to go to Japan. I love the Japanese culture very much. The artwork there is very fascinating. I am very inspired by the artwork there. A lot of their customs are different from ours. I also like the difference in their music. Another thing I like is the high technology they have in Japan. I love gadgets and such. Japan has a lot of that crazy stuff. I think I’d be like a kid in a candy store if I was in a Japanese city. There would be so much to see and do. I wouldn’t be able to do everything I wanted in just one day. I love to travel and I would love to travel more. The only issue I have is money. My family is well off, but only enough to get by. I have gone to Bermuda before and that’s when I realized that I love to go to new places. I love culture and how different customs are compared to what I’m used to. Getting credits to go travel would be so cool. I’d be having fun and learning about the country AND getting school work done! Hopefully when I get more money or have money left over, I can be able to travel more.
to be completely honest, i have no desire to study abroad. i don't like being out of my comfort zone. lame i know, but i like being familiar with my surroundings, i have never traveled far. but if i HAD to choose somewhere for the sake of this blog, i would choose Italy. i don't know much about other countries, i have never really studied any of them. but i have heard good things about the food and people in Italy.
