Semester abroad

[TravellingGrace]

Has anybody else ever done a semester abroad in their program?

I'm a Worship Arts major, and my school has changed the program so now in our 3rd year, Worship arts students spend a semester over in Europe. First we spend a week in Scotland at the Iona community and then we spend a week in France at the Taze community. THEN we go to Switzerland for 6-8 weeks (I can't remember how long lol)

I'm really excited, and yet really nervous at the same time. I'm the only girl that will be in 3rd year next year... it's scary. I know God has called me to be a Worship leader/pastor, but it seems as if I'm treading somewhere where most females don't really go. So I'll be the only girl going to Europe for my first semester in 3rd year (I'm finishing off my 2nd year right now) I'll definately have to trust God for this...

It's a good thing the guys that will be going are all pretty awesome

Wish you good luck

Europe is a really nice place - I'm sure you're going to find some female friends here pretty soon....

So far I've never done a semester abroad but as a language student they recommend to do at least a semester.....

thanks Ainuhina

I've been to Europe before, and I loved it. Actually, I've been to all 3 of the countries we're going to go to for this coming semester abroad.

I would love to visit other countries too, but I'm happy that I get to travel again period.

Thing about meeting other girls there is that we don't spend much time in Scotland or France, so I might have to wait about 2-3 weeks until I can actually be in one place (Switzerland) long enough to develop a friendship... I really hope that there are more girls there than me! lol! Not that there aren't girls in the countries I'm going to, but I don't know how many girls will be staying at the communities while we are there...

That is so neat! I am seriously thinking of either doing study abroad or being a transient student to another school, I'd love to experience something new.

I've never done a semester abroad (although I've been on shorter exchanges with school), but when I go back to college, I definitely want to do one. I think it's a great opportunity, regardless of what you're studying. It can definitely bring new perspectives on things.

How cool that you're going to Taizé! I was there this summer, and I had such a blessed time! Amazing place. I'm sure your stay in Europe will be awesome! Trust God!

I'm pretty excited to go.

I am actually very jealous of you right now

There is a school I'm considering going to in the next couple of years and in the third year of the program I'd like to take, they send their students away for a semester all the way toooo.... Langley, British Columbia

I guess I can't complain though since I actually do want to go to B.C., but that doesn't stop me from being jealous lol

*insert shameless plug for my school here* If you go to my school for the missions program you get to go for a full year (8 months) oversees!

Awesome They wouldn't send you to that foreign country called Canada would they?

I think I'm graduating with my BA in 2008... then I'm hoping to get a Masters degree by about 2010/2011ish...
