Mrs. Frigge (Troy University) stated that institutions should require abroad programs for certain majors. “If we are going to offer a Global Business degree, then how is that global when students aren’t leaving the states?” She later followed up with the idea that any major should go abroad. She stated that some universities has even required that student do go a aboard sometime in their college career. That they come in as a freshman and they will pay as part of their tuition each year to pay for the abroad experience. Doing this will help with that accessibility/ affordability piece that most students worry about. “Why not get a head start as a freshman and pay for it before it is time to leave for the abroad program.”
Loveland (2006) in the same interview earlier with President Sanford Ungar of Goucher College mentioned that they are an institution that requires all undergraduate students to study abroad at least once before they graduate. President Ungar suggested that many students have implied that when they go abroad, their experiences abroad had a direct relationship to the things that they do back here in the United States. Loveland (2006) also mentioned in her interview that President Ungar had a run in with a student on campus one day and in that conversation with a student about going abroad that what she learned overseas was helpful to the work and community engagement. The student suggested that the local-international link is a very important part of the
A college degree is very crucial to the development of the national skills to match the market. However, the high cost of attaining the degree is driving many poor students from taking courses in universities. The possibility of an international student accessing equal education is the United States comes with a very high cost. For example, while a California community college student pays $46 per unit, an international student pays $250 per unit, which is very expensive and
In the article, “Colleges Adapt to New Kinds of Students from Abroad,” Karin Fischer (2011) explains the increase of foreign students in U.S. universities leads to make more problems in campus and how universities are trying to overcome those problems and help foreign students to adapt to campus. Fischer explains the increase of the foreign undergraduate students due to the support from foreign governments. Fischer quotes Wesley Young, the director of services for international students and scholars at the University of California at Davis, to discuss that the increase of foreign undergraduate students especially requires more care and help than graduate students. While older students know what they need to do and what to do in U.S. university,
By helping students understand the ethical dimensions of leadership, while taking what they learn in the classrooms to help solve problems and bring about change, Missouri State strives to prepare students for the future. Study abroad programs are utilized by many departments, including the CDR, in order to offer students opportunities which will increase their cultural competence. Furthermore, community engagement allows students to experience how the world works through a different lens, giving them the opportunity to work with their communities and build up their ability to lead in their careers.

For my Follow-on Service Project, I aim to promote the notion that studying abroad is an experience that everyone can have. I will emphasized that this opportunity is not limited to the elite few who have the money to pay for the experience out of their own pocket. I will accomplish this by highlighting the various funding opportunities available to students, especially those opportunities geared specifically toward lower-income students. I will encourage students to look at every possible avenue such as local scholarships available back home, university scholarships, organizational scholarships, departmental scholarships, state-level scholarships, and national scholarships.
College is important for the majority of Americans. Most colleges’ tuition rates are quite high, which in turn causes student debts to sky rocket. In most cases the students’ credit to be low. Well paying jobs often require a higher education than just high school. Some people can simply not afford to go to college. With all that said, state colleges should be free to attend for American citizens.
It is also often an emotional and psychological satisfaction in terms of relationships between the worker and employer as well as between the worker and the employer’s children that plays a role in the dynamic. These women are not only to provide physical labor but also emotional, and in turn, are still not paid living wages. In 2001, it was stated that it was not unusual for domestic workers in Los Angeles to make about $150 per week while working an average of sixty-four hours per week (40). As a resident of Los Angeles for my entire life, I can personally attest to the fact that this is almost criminal and nowhere near living wages. Currently, at my work study, part time job, I make about the same amount of money each week for only twelve hours of work that is in no way as labor intensive nor does it take a toll on my physical and emotional health.
"Goodnight Mr Tom directed by Jack Gold explores the idea of a 10-year-old boy named William who has been sent to the countryside to be looked after by a man named Tom Oakley. The film presents the idea of the effects of child abuse, and the importance of love and care to raise a child. Through the use of camera work, sound editing, and composition, Gold informs us of the effect of mistreating children and promotes understanding of the requirements of love and care to raise a child.
Education is important and should be available for everyone. Because of that, I strongly disagree that the government prohibit foreign students from attending college. One reason I maintain this position is that a lot of specialists that work in the US for example in technology are from other countries. In the article “International students in the US”, Project Atlas presents convincing data regarding the positive consequence of foreign students. For example, 20% of the college students that study engineering and graduate are foreign. Proponents of prohibiting exchange students tend to [point out that they take away resources that Americans could use. However, current data from US Study abroad actually demonstrate that a lot of US Students are in other countries to study and use their resources too. Another reason why foreign students should continue studying in the US is due the economy. In fact Huma Nisar shows in his article in “Views and News” that exchange students contribute $32 billion to the US economy in the year 15/16. This money is used and needed to improve the own education system. Equally important for those numbers are the relations that are built between countries and nations.
College level requires students to be prepared at all cost to face various challenges and learn how to overcome them before it affects their future. College also instructs students to a higher level of responsibility and management at their work place, at their house, and everywhere they might be in contact with people. As an International Students, I have had ups and downs throughout my journey in High School, and college, and I have learned so much from my mistakes. My first
I feel studying abroad will enhance my energy for academic goals and will strengthen my interest in learning. Also, my lifelong goal has been to start my own trading firm and globalization is a huge part of trading. I need to know the ins and outs of the foreign markets and studying abroad will increase my knowledge of how foreign countries do things. These days business is all about globalization and I wont be successful in globalization if I don’t get to see the world through with my own eyes.
Students cannot study in the United State of America unless they have the ability to use high level of English language. Full level of English language proficiency is required for studying a master program in the US. I believe that transfer graduate students from American universities should not have to be forced to take Maryland English Institute (MEI) English courses at the University of Maryland College Park (UMD). This should apply particularly to the following factors; if the students pursue master of engineering, are able to get an A+ grade in all subject, and are living in the country for more than two years.
“In 2006 to 2007, according to the data compiled by the Institute of International Education, 582,984 students from all over the world were enrolled in American colleges and universities in a wide range of fields” (Carter, Paragraph 2, 2008). The United States has the highest number of students who are coming to study abroad than any other countries. Each year, the number of international students coming to the United States to obtain degrees is increasing by thousands, and home countries of these students are primarily India, China and Korea, all located in the whole different continent. But what are the motives of students who are crossing the sea to study? Their goal of studying abroad is to experience diversity and to adapt attitudes
Ever wanted to travel and study abroad for school, but never get the opportunity to do so? Wondered what it would be like to study abroad in general? Studying abroad can be a great way to find career inspiration, growth, and memorable experiences but, with not enough opportunities being offered to students to study abroad and enjoy the benefits of learning key life skills in various countries. Schools should give students the option to travel abroad to study as studying abroad can improve students communication skills, create an expanded knowledge on various cultural and worldview perspectives and a paved way towards the development of becoming a future global leader.

Education is a never-ending learning process that has always been a piece of our life. As education is a building block in our lives, we are eager to put profoundly into our education. Good education will lead us to the bright future. With the fast advancement of public opinion, we have entered an era of information explosion which the necessity of studying abroad has turned into a developing pattern among youth. Most of the students feel that studying abroad is better than studying in local universities. As the saying goes, “the grass always looks greener on the other side of fence.” In this way, I believe that considering abroad have extraordinary points of benefits.
