Which should I study abroad in? The advantages of Prague is that I would LOVE to visit europe, especially Austria, Germany, Eastern Europe. The downside is that I have to take Czech (mandatory) and will have to overload on classes next semester because of it. Also, I’d be going spring semester and Europe is cold in the winter.

If i Chose S Africa, I wouldnt have to take a language that I don’t want to invest time in. It would also be warmer…I would also be living in a house with all American students-I consider this a HUGE advantage because it will create more permanent relationships…I wouldnt be able to visit Czech Republic often, so it would be hard to build lasting relationships with local Czech students. However, activities would be limited to the great outdoors-which I absolutely love…

Im absolutely torn-the fact that I have to take Czech really messes with my graduation schedule. Does anyone have advice?

I am an international relations major with plans for law school or PHD in IR…I would love to live in Europe for a while. I will be applying for English teaching positions in europe after graduation.
