A Guide to Spring Break Study Abroad
Why Study Abroad During Spring Break
It’s not too late to sign up for an alternative spring break in 2016. Many universities and colleges sponsor different international activities for students to participate in during spring break. Not only will you be able to travel with your closest friends and classmates, but you’ll earn college credit AND collect some shiny, new stamps in your freshly minted passport.
Deciding to study or volunteer abroad during spring break is a relatively low-risk commitment too. Instead of packing your bags for a semester or summer abroad (or more), you will only be away from your teddy bear (er, comforts from home) for a week or two. Leaving home can be very scary and overwhelming, and testing the waters with a short trip like an alternative spring break is a good way to get a feel for travel without overdoing it.
Spring break can be a time to goof off and imbibe with your friends. But that’s so old school, and let’s be honest, do you really need to wake up full of regret from another night spent at the bar? Instead, choose to spend your time helping others or seeing beautiful new parts of the world.
