Marvel Mcaulay: Hi, my name is Emily and I'm the Senior Program advisor with Ayusa.I majored in Chinese in college. I had never studied Chinese before (though I did take Spanish in high school), but I was fascinated by the language and history of China so I started studying Chinese my freshman year. My school actually offered a study abroad program at Beijing Normal University, so after my first year of college (and three terms of Chinese), I went off to study in Beijing for my freshman summer and sophomore fall. I continued studying Chinese when I returned home, and went back to intern in Beijing my junior summer and senior fall. I had one friend who did language programs in China, France, and Morrocco, as well as interning abroad during their summers. Deciding when to study abroad, what country to go to, how long to stay, etc, are all very personal decisions that depend on your goals, personality, academic requirements/background, and financial situation. I would s! trongly encourage you to speak with the advisors at your study abroad office (if your school has one), your dean/academic/major advisor, language professors, and parents. If finances will be a constraining factor, I would also encourage you to begin speaking with your financial aid office as early as possible. You will probably have a more rewarding experience if you study at least a semester or two of the language before you go overseas, but your language acquisition will be much faster overseas so you'll get more benefit out of it if you do it as early as possible.Pursuing an internship overseas is a fantastic way to hone your foreign language skills and gain professional and international work experience (and develop a global network that can help you find a job after you graduate) all at once. Ayusa's sister company, Intrax Internships Abroad, offers some fantastic summer internships in Beijing and Shanghai. Check out the websites below for additional information.Goo! d luck, and have an amazing experience with whatever you decid! e to do!....Show more
Dorinda Metzer: To study MBBS abroad, In my experience Philippines is the best. Unlike china, ukraine and other countries, philippines has US educational system of MD programme. worldly recognised and MCI approved, Not a single subject in regional language. All are in pure english. Affordable fees: including food accomodation and tution fee upto 13 lacs. (Total package). We also do to other countries like ukraine, china etc..But I suggest philippines.In short all facilities what u need..There are some students in philippines who wind up the studies from ukraine due to the racial discrimination.For more details feel free to call me: 00919495361648email: globaleduvisa@gmail.comGlobal Eduvisa,Manadath Buildings, Desom P.OErnakulam district, Aluva, KeralaPin code: 683102...Show more
Clementina Collelo: You're going to major in a language you have not taken a single course in? do you think that's wise? What if you don't LIKE it? You really do! n't want to spread yourself so thin. Study abroad. One year, one language...one country is best. How do you apply? You go to the foreign study office on campus and check the possibilities, and then follow the directions. Junior year is when most people do it. It's best then, because you are old enough to really appreciate it and explore on your own. You know, if you intend on going to university, you ought to know that it's a COUNSELOR, and that you don't have them in university, you have ADVISORS. No. You don't HAVE to be in university to study abroad. There are adult programs, and programs through community colleges, which you might want to explore for after you finish university (or you can also go as a grad student.) Summer isn't really long enough. You want to spend enough time to become fluent. Yes, you may take other classes, besides language classes. No. If you plan properly, it shouldn't throw you behind at all...You just take the classes you need to get y! our degree...if you are taking them in French, or Chinese, that's fine. ! The BEST thing to do is get as many required courses taken during Freshman and Sophomore years, leaving mostly electives for that year abroad, so the classes all count. Most schools have a minimum GPA requirement, but it isn't required to be super-high....Show more
