Study Abroad

azuriteJust for my personal reference (and anyone with two bits to contribute), I'm looking for study abroad programs for next year (Fall 2006, when I'm a junior).
* Rutger's Study Abroad
* UNAC Program (University of Nevada, I think)
* CSUN "IP" program
All of them seem to have pretty tough application processes, and expensive fees, but I'll see who I can talk to and what I can do. In the meantime, are there other options? I'm all for traveling for leisure, but it doesn't have quite the sense of purpose that going there (to Japan) for school would. Also, if I get into the CSUN program, I'd be in Tokyo, whileas Rutgers is in Kyoto and UNAC is in Hiroshima (or the other way around, I'm not sure).
I can always save up for another vacation and apply to every single TEACHING job after I get my BA-- that is, programs like JET, AEON, NOVA, GEOS, etc. etc.
My secondary choice? Korea... or maybe China, now that I think about it. :P I'd love to go to Shanghai!
Ugh, I still have to read Ch. 12 of my Three Genres book for Creative Writing and type up a paragraph reaction. It's not hard or anything, it's just that I'm already tired and sore...

Date: 2005-09-08 04:50 pm (UTC)Now that you mentioned Japan, I visited my friend JoAnne almost a month ago, where she showed me footage of her girlfriend going on a trip to Japan back in late March of this year. Her girlfriend is from SoCal, and when she was in the airport, she showed footage of a college group, and you were shown. Did you go to Japan this year? Just curious. The person who videotaped you, btw was Kathy Robertson.
