I went on the Greece and Italy trip and it was an amazing experience (and an easy way to earn honors credits!). I met such great people and learned so much about other cultures and myself through the trip, and got to see such beautiful places! I definitely recommend any of them, a lot of my friends have done different ones and they’re all very fun with not too much work (yes, there’s still studying though ). The only downside for me is it was a little pricey, but definitely worth it. Just something to be aware of.

I would definitely recommend research or internships. Being in Barrett gives you a leg up when doing either as it’s something employers/researchers really value (when someone volunteers to do extra work for a better education, it’s the type of person they’re looking for). I’ve had 4 internships in college (including one out of state this past summer), and they’ve helped me gain experience while making money (so, better than a part-time job in my opinion). Just keep your eye out for them, go to career fairs and join careerlink, talk to your professors, and you should find something! Also, you can use your research or internships for credit at Barrett if you need to. Talk to your advisor about it. Good luck!
