Study Abroad

Okay guys, I need your help!
I know a lot of us on here are young-ish, so I was wondering if anyone has gone abroad for a semester (or a summer session) while in college?

I'm going to go this summer, but I don't know where.
It's hard to decide.

I'm torn between Prague, Seville and Florence.
What would you do? I need some insight!

The good thing about Seville is that a professor from my campus would actually travel with us and teach the course to us over there for credit. So basically I'll be with other students from my campus and have a professor that I'm familiar with. That's the main plus to Seville.

But I really want to go to Italy and I've heard Prague is beautiful!

How am I supposed to narrow this down?

Seville is absolutely beautiful! I went there on a class trip two years ago.

At first blush, I would recommend Seville for the reasons you stated. Plus, as you surely know, its very easy and relatively affordable to travel across Europe (even if Seville is a bit out of the way). Sounds like the best of both worlds

Very true. I'm pretty sure we make a 4 or 5 day trip over to Lisbon and Lagos (beautiful beaches there, I hear)!

Thanks for your input, you two!

My cousin lives in Italy and LOVES it there. Her husband is in the military.

I, of course, would recommend you come to New Zealand.

You should see the Rhineland, the birthplace of Beethoven!

I have been regretting not studying abroad lately. I've only been out of college a year though, and I really miss being in school. I'm thinking about grad school though, and I know that if there's a chance to study abroad, I'll do it! So wherever you go, I'm sure you'll have a grand time. Don't hesitate!
