Study Abroad

Just bumped into two of my daughter Holly’s college friends. Kimmie just got back from six weeks in Peru on a community service trip. She does not speak Spanish but was able to pick up a little and is off to a good start. And Cyndi is going to spend fall semester in Avignon, France. She will live with a family and study French at the university. This is great news for Holly – since she will also spend fall semester in Europe. She will study Spanish and business in Madrid and also live with a family. Holly speaks Spanish but wants to become more proficient. She is hoping to travel within Europe on the weekends so news that Cyndi will be in nearby Avignon is great. Holly also has friends in Paris, London, Jordan and Zurich – all college students studying abroad. Study abroad is so common now – for today’s college students the world is really getting small.
