i was offered a full scholarship in Georgia, USA for a year but I really don't know if I'm gonna accept it since I'm gonna be a college senior soon. I'm afraid that my year there won't be credited and I would have to extend my education for a year more.

Any advice from those who've tried being a Rotary Club scholar?

I applied and got into HKU, for the whole year ('08-'09)
I REALLY REALLY wanted to go to NTU but it doesn't offer enough English-taught classes :[

oh yeah, i know what you mean. I'm not fluent in Mandarin or Cantonese and a friend of a friend who went to NTU told me not to go unless I know Mandarin 'cuz 95% of their good/fun courses are in Mandarin. Boourns!

I'm actually a freshman and my university won't allow students to go on exchange unless you have 30 credits under your belt. I would have accumulated 30 by the time I finish fall semester (2008)
so I'm going to jump at the chance and go for one semester during spring '09.

but yeahhh.. HKU and NTU are prestigious universities.. so I don't mind going to either!

Hi everyone, I really wanna go to a European country to study in my junior year. I'm gonna major in Marketing or Management~~ haven't decided yet. I talked to a conselor and he said that Warsaw School of Economics in Warsaw, Poland is a pretty good school. Have anyone study there or have friends that went there? I really wanna go~~ please give me some advice

I've known people who have studied in Europe, but not in Warsaw - the only one that I know of are the British schools. My boss says that LSE and Cambridge are great - they make all the programs elsewhere seem really easy, if only because they need to squeeze the same amt of material in a shorter period of time. Good luck!

Hello all~

I've been accepted to study at ICU (International Christian University) in Japan, and was wondering if there were any others here studying abroad in Japan

Does anyone know any good International Universty in Tokyo or Osaka, Japan /or anywhere else in Japan? That offer Japanese learning classes beginning to Advanced. And have some classes that have Film, Architecure, and Grpahic Design.

All I know so far is:

Saitama Universty

You could always look into International Christian University, but they're a bit hard to get into

I'm going to Parsons Paris this fall starting in September and I was just wondering if anyone by any chance is going there as well? I'm fresh out from high school starting in June and I'm a bit nervous going alone and studying in Paris

Hi,

I wanna take a year off right after high school to do some studying abroad (my first choices are Japan and Korea, but I'm also considering European countries like France or Italy), but I don't think my school offers anything like that so where do I get started? How do I get forms or find programs that provide this kind of opportunity? Any kind of help would be really awesome (:

hi all,
you guys are so lucky getting accepted and everything!
I have a quick question-
Do your grades have to be like, SUPER AWESOME?
I am going to apply, but I think I want to wait for my grades to be a little better. (not that they're horrible now or anything///)
A friend told me about a program at my school that sends students to korea and I think japan, so I'm hopefully going there...someday

At my school the GPA requirement is a 3.0 or better...so no, your grades don't have to be super awesome or anything. You should check with your school's requirements.

yup same with my school (all the UCs, actually), minimum is a 3.0. Selectivity probably depends on each host university and how popular it is among the students, but for mine (HKU) it wasn't so bad. 14 people applied and 9 got in. Two acquaintances of mine whose GPAs were barely over 3.0 got in. So it's not just about the grades, a huge part has to do with your own goals, future, etc.

Hey all!

I'm hoping to study abroad in Japan next year for two weeks (maybe a bit longer, this years trip is 18 days) in May, thorugh my community college. I looked at a activities list for the trip theya re taking this year, and it seemed pretty fun. And it didn't seem to expensive either, which is nice. Saving up for studying abroad is one of the hardest parts!

Exciting~!

I have a question about studying abroad.

Let's say I just finished my 2nd year at the University of British Columbia, and since I am now eligible to go Global to other overseas schools is it possible to apply for another university for one semester to learn the Korean language for example?

Has anyone done school transfers in the middle of their degree?

[serenaxoxo]

I've been in Wales for 2 1/2 months so far and I like it and hate it at the same time. But I definitely recommend everyone to study abroad.

why do you hate it too? I usually don't hear about the negative aspects of studying abroad so I'm curious

I hope the inconveniences of adjusting to a new lifestyle won't make my experience less enjoyable x_X

Good luck. I'm a proud member of Rotary, but I haven't applied for its international scholarship though.
