Studying Abroad Opens the Door to the Rest of the World!

With the end of the semester approaching fast, have you thought about what other experiences you want to gain while you are at B-W? Getting involved and pursuing developmental experiences are important and can be extremely rewarding later on in life. Here at B-W there are numerous opportunities available for students to take part in.

Mark Twain once said, “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” There are infinite possibilities available to you in college that can change the way you think and act, and studying abroad is just one way to explore, dream, and discover.

Studying abroad is the process of pursuing academic coursework in a different country. For those looking to take the plunge, there are many types of excursions to choose from. There are typical semester and year-long experiences available throughout the school year and over the summer, but here at B-W, there are also options for shorter trips. These shorter trips, which are generally faculty-led, can range from 2-weeks to 1 month. The Study Abroad Office here at B-W can give you more details on types of trips, locations, and what academic programs are available.

Not only does study abroad allow you to travel, but the experience exposes you to different perspectives and ways of life. While your comfort zone may be challenged, you will gain insights into worlds you know little about and develop friendships that will last a lifetime. But the rewards don’t stop there. A study abroad experience can be influential on a resume and provide you with a new outlook on your job search or career path.

Studying abroad is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that can shape the way you live your life.

So are you ready to expand your knowledge base, meet new people and see what the world has to offer? Then why not talk with the study abroad office and see what experiences are in store for you!
