With the countdown fast approaching, it's time to decide: Where will you study abroad in 2010? First, you have to decide what you are really looking for. Intensive language study? Party atmosphere? Which language? Maybe it's time to try something new, say Portuguese, Chinese, or Japanese. If you are a newbie language-learner, Spanish is a great place to start.
Spain will probably always top the list as one of our favorite places to study abroad. Cosmopolitan cities, amazing food, non-stop nightlife, warm hospitality, the list goes on and on! There is such a range of places where you can study in Spain, from the capital of Madrid, to the stunning architecture of Barcelona, to the golden city of Salamanca.
Costa Rica also tops our list with its amazing natural biodiversity and range of settings, including mountains, cloudforests, beaches, and much more. Lovers of the outdoors will find Costa Rica a true treat.
China is fast becoming a fabulous place to study abroad, with a treasure trove of cultural history, warm people, and of course their emergence as a world power ensures that learning Chinese will be helpful in the future.
Another option is to volunteer abroad. You get to learn a new language, be completely immersed in a new culture, and help out an organization in need. Also, by volunteering abroad, you can often save money versus a standard language immersion program. Great locations to volunteer abroad include Costa Rica, Argentina, and Peru.
Wherever you decide, make it your New Year's resolution to study abroad in 2010. For more information and comparison of study abroad programs, check out All Study Abroad.
