One of the places that was visited last semester was Hong Kong. Senior Marcia Pearson gave us a vivid outlook of her exotic journey. She decided to study abroad in Hong Kong because she wanted to take advantage of the expensive living conditions. As far as the people and the language in her surroundings, the people of Hong Kong offered open arms to the American students and the language barrier was never a problem. One of the highlights of Marcia's journey was her freedom to travel away from Hong Kong and to China where she experienced the Great Wall of China.
Many abroad programs offer students chances to explore many places and fulfill their own dreams.
When some students look at colleges they also look at what abroad programs a college has to offer. When Elisabeth Adams discovered Franklin College she was impressed by what programs it offered, and this influenced her decision to attend Franklin. When Elisabeth talked with good friend Deana Baker they both agreed that England would be a fascinating place to study for a semester. When the two students first arrived in England many locals believed that the American students were all camp counselors. Elisabeth's overall experience of England was something that she will never forget.
