Study Abroad

Yesterday afternoon I found myself in the study abroad expo. It was so excitng looking at all the pictures that represent the places I could be going. My ideal trip: summer 2011, begining late june early july, lasting 4-5 weeks, through Virginia tech and the summer program that is led by a Virginia Tech professor, traveling to different countries as opposed to staying in just one place. I do however have many options as far as where I am going incase a traveling program is not accessile. To stay in one place I would go to Italy, and in Italy, Florence. I have been looking at summer programs that involve going only one place, and I have found several good programs in Florence where I'd be travelinga round Italy, and taking classes. The Engineering that I am looking to go into is Ocean Engineering, and there are not many programs for Aerospace, let alone ocean engineering. So, the coures that I wold take would be liberal studie programs. That is perfect because I do not believe I would focus on engineering if I was in another country. That is a big part of the reason that I am not doing a semester program. Even if I found an engineering program that matches up, I would not focus well on it at all, or if I did I would miss out on Europe.
