When was the last time you had a meaningful college experience? What’s the most memorable thing you’ve done so far? Does anything you did in college make you stand out from your peers? Are you looking for a way to do something really different, without falling behind academically? Do you want to have the kind of education and life experiences that both distinguish your resume and help shape your future? 

Perhaps you’ve considered taking a semester or even a year off to go explore the world. Maybe some of your friends have gone, and you’re a bit envious of the experiences they had. But you don’t have time to take off of school for so long, right? And besides, it probably costs too much. And how would you manage living abroad getting housing and health insurance, navigating a new culture and a new language alone?
