How does studying “abroad” in DC compare to studying abroad somewhere else?
By Shelby Carignan
Fall 2013
By some stroke of luck, I got to spend semesters abroad through BU both in the U.S. and abroad. Studying abroad for a semester is on the bucket list of most college students. It’s an especially big part of the BU undergraduate experience, since they’ve got programs literally all over the world. Most students looking to study abroad probably don’t even consider the idea of studying within the U.S. at BU’s campus in D.C. or LA, but if a student wants to have their professional goals at the center of their experience, domestic programs give students a unique edge that they won’t get abroad or in Boston. Having experienced studying with BU’s program in Paris, France and being halfway through the D.C. journalism program here, I think I’ve got a sense of the pros and cons of each.
