Peterson's Study Abroad 2002 (Study Abroad, 2002)

Rating:
Summary: Bingo! It got us what we needed!
Review: So my daughter wanted to study abroad her junior year of college... She was a Spanish major, and was looking for the right program in a Spanish-speaking country.

By looking through all the various programs in this book, she was able to find a program that offered her a very significant immersion experience... one that offered living with a family (vs. in the dorm w/ other US students), mainstreamed coursework in Spanish at a local university (vs. special courses for US students), an internship with a local organization (vs. coursework-only programs), and an full academic year experience (vs. a single semester).

My daughter is currently finishing her junior academic year abroad. It has been an excellent experience for her. Being able to find the right program was worth much more the price of the book. This was an excellent investment on my part.
