The Sweet Life.

On most college campuses, at least the larger ones, there exists some sort of office that serves as the liason for oppurtunities in study abroad. On OSU’s campus, this office is located in the basement of the student union. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable about different outlets that make it possible for one to go abroad.

Study during a regular semester is available, as well as year-long study. There are programs that are specifically for summer, winter, and spring break trips as well. The best part about choosing to study abroad is that you can earn college credit while having a life-changing experience and seeing parts of the world that you might not have otherwise.

Listed below are some websites that can help in finding more information about study, various destinations, and programs.
