Study Abroad

I have considered studying abroad. I am actually almost certain that I will sometime during my four years at USC, probably during junior year. If I do study abroad, I will probably go to Australia. Australia is a great place to study abroad in for Marine Science, since it is entirely surrounded by water, plus, it’s warm, so that is always nice. The only barriers I could possibly foresee would be fiscal issues or the issue of not graduating on time. My parents are paying for college and they told me that they would only pay for four years, and then I’m on my own. So if studying abroad would set me back a semester, I would never be able to do it. I think that it would definitely be a beneficial experience though. There would be a lot of in-field hands-on experience as well as cultural enlightenment. I definitely hope I will be studying abroad before these four years are up.
