Travel abroad is a great experience for the arts and science student.
There are many opportunities to travel abroad, whether by spending a semester or a year in another university or by taking a course that involves foreign travel. It works best if plans are made early to study abroad so that no credits are lost by the experience. And, the expense of foreign study is not always much different from staying on campus.
