<p>D will be on soph fall and winter (taking senior seminar course to be ready for honors thesis in her preferred concentration), will be abroad soph spring, on soph summer, then off junior fall. Her plans for junior fall aren’t firm yet, she might do an internship or something abroad like work for a thesis or more volunteer type work, she’s not sure yet. She originally thought about doing 2 study abroads, but is now leaning more toward a double major, and the study abroad for one of her majors is not that enticing, she would rather save that space for on campus classes, or possible thesis work.</p>
<p>The big advantages are flexiblity and more internship opportunities in the “off-season” as has been said. Money is not such a big issue for the FA student, although it is for D because she doesn’t get FA - she will though qualify for support for research work, or more “volunteer-like” experience, such as teaching in the Marshall islands, or some clinic work in Africa that she may pursue.</p>
