INT 95 Week 5 Blog

During INT 95 discussion, we discussed about any plans in regards to studying abroad in the upcoming years. Up to this point, I am still not sure if I want to take advantage of the opportunity. I would first like to see if I have enough money to travel abroad and I still need to do some research on some countries that I would enjoy visiting. A few people during discussion did say that they were interested in studying abroad but I don't remember where exactly they plan on traveling to.

After discussing our plans on studying abroad, my class and I went to South Hall to the EAP meeting. The meeting was actually very informative. I learned a lot about the advantages one can get from studying abroad. You can actually take an entire or entire year at the location of your interest and still get the units required for your major and graduation. Also, another thing you might consider is that you can actually study abroad during the summer. After Mayra, I believe that was her name, was done speaking, I decided to walk around the room and look at the different flyers they had. I decided to take flyers that contained information about sudy abroad program in Italy, Spain, Japan, and China.

Overall taking INT95 did help me became familiar with the different resources that our campus has to offer. I am positive that I will take advantage of a lot those resources. As of now I am starting to become accustomed to this new atmosphere. It is surely a complete transition from my high school experience back home. I am really hoping that a lot of you guys have a successful college and that all your goals and dreams will come true. Best of luck to each and everyone of you guys.

  1. Hey Giovanni! I thought listening to where other people in my INT95 section wanted to study abroad was very interesting as well. Also, I enjoyed the visit to the EAP office and learned lots of new information that I think is very valuable. I too was interested to learn about the varying lengths of programs that the EAP program offers. I think that for me, if I do decide to study abroad, doing so in the summer would be a good option. I think that I really benefitted from INT95 as well, and am familiar with many more resources here at UCSB now. Good luck to you too!
