The Education system is doing whatever it takes to keep students interested, even arranging discounted trips overseas. Classes with travel components, foreign exchange programs, studying abroad, and credits being earned internationally are all ways that students have been able to see the world on their college dorm budget.
Education & Travel is a site that offers information and resources for these opportunities. Many schools, depending on your major will require you to take foreign languages, some schools are helping you get that done quick with a trip to a country that is fluent in your language of choice. If you degree is a specialty, say pastry making, a semester in Paris, France working in a bakery might be just the training you need to get ahead of your peers.
