Sarah Walsh - Blog Post #3

I'm definitely planning to participate in Study Abroad while I'm here at Mizzou! I love to travel and I love to learn about other places and cultures, so doing that as part of my education is pretty much a dream come true. Ideally, I'd like to study in China, since I plan to minor in Mandarin Chinese and having a hands-on immersion experience would really help my speaking and listening skills develop as well as giving me real face time with modern Chinese culture. Honestly, though? I'd be fine if Study Abroad took me to Canada. I just want to get out of the States, into the world, and start seeing things for myself!

Four questions for the SA presenters:
1. Is it necessary for students to have experience with the native language of the country they plan to visit?
2. What are the benefits of taking a class abroad as opposed to taking it here in Missouri?
3. Which Study Abroad destinations are most popular or have the most spots available?
4. Can you tell me a little more about Journalism-specific Study Abroad programs?
