Arriving in September and departing in May, students experience all of the seasons, from the height of summer when they arrive to the beautiful holiday season in winter, the harvest in autumn, and the rebirth of the gardens and beach-going in the spring.
It is the perfect opportunity to not only take classes toward your degree but to also have the opportunity for an abroad internship during one or both semesters. This earns you valuable experience for your resume and also an immersion experience in the community in local placements.
