| How is there not enough interest? Study abroad sets students head and shoulders above students who do not and is often very cheap in comparison to a year at a US school- especially since scholarship money often carries with you to programs abroad.
If there's a subforum on computers and summer programs, there should be a subforum on study abroad. Tips for study abroad vary vastly from program to program, schools, countries, and even different cities in a country. You cannot put that all in one thread and have it be effective. |

| Creating a subforum is warranted only when numerous threads on that particular topic start to overtake other topics. That is not the case on College Life.
I will discuss it with the rest of the Mod Team and the site administrator, but in the meantime you should share your study abroad information in this forum. | |

| Snoopy, thanks for suggesting the idea. I think it's a great one, too.
It ought to be good for CC, too -- just as so many of us discovered CC by googling when searching for info about the National Merit Scholar program, I'll bet a lot more folks will find this forum by googling "study abroad programs". | |

| My son is heading to NYC this morning, with his dad, to apply for his visa to study in France next year. He'll be a high school sophomore. I could have used advice from this board about the visa process -- and will be happy to share.
He will be living with a French family in a little walled village in Provence, joining the local rowing club, and attending school in Orange. With our other son away at college, we will be empty nesters. ACK! | |

| I've often seen postings in the Parent Forums about this topic, for lack of any where else to post or read about it.
I think if it is well-publicized, it would probably be reasonably popular. | |
