it is cold up there but you adapt… and with the right clothing it is not that bad.

As far as the first semester abroad program… I worked at another institution that had a similar program… I don’t think of it as a money making scheme… just a different sort of first semester experience. The one benefit to the university may be dealing with housing for first seemster freshmen… more students admitted to the university than they have housing for… by having a group abroad first semester it can help alleviate the first semester housing issues that some schools have… althoug, I doubt this is whay a school would have such a program… just a “bonus”…

Please note – that students in this program must be in the College of Arts and Sciences… NOT in the School of Visual and Performing Arts (where the art program is housed).
