<p>Thinking about perhaps studying away for a semester junior year. I am currently a sophomore, and I want to know from other people how semester away programs are viewed? I am purely interested in doing one for my own growth (so I’ve heard from peers, it’s a great thing to do), but, does it even help for college? Some places I have researched include: The Island School, Rocky Mountain Semester and The Mountain School. Obviously, the websites are all biased. Any knowledge on these?</p>
<p>I could phrase this differently…
what are the pros/cons to attending a semester away and how will that shape the college process?</p>
