If you're traveling or France or Spain for the first time, take a conversational French or Spanish course. Remember, a degree plan doesn't keep you from taking these other courses. Don't bite off more than you can chew. You've heard this one before. You're only one person - who also needs to eat, sleep and do all those necessary things.
Some classes require a great deal of outside work.
The old standard used to say that you would need to spend three hours out of class for every hour you spend in class. That may be true for some courses, but figure at least two hours for every one in class. Begin networking early. If you land a campus job, get to know your employer and fellow workers. If you work for a group of instructors, they may be willing to give you recommendations later for scholarships, graduate schools, etc.
