"I had originally wanted to go to England, but when the speaker
told us about China, I changed my mind," Meade says. "Their
economy was so much different than ours, and the trip made me appreciate
living in the United States even more."
Mindy Reef, of Berne, Ind., a senior in agricultural communication,
heard about studying abroad through her roommates. Reef took classes
in France and also worked in a vineyard.
"My roommates participated in study abroad the summer before last
and talked me into going," Reef said. "It's a great resume
builder, and I had never traveled overseas, so I thought I could only
gain from the experience."
The record participation level has prompted the College of Agriculture
to create more study abroad programs. Four new Maymester study abroad
programs are being launched, as well as a program during spring break.
