         <description><![CDATA[By Linda Bartnik
I began my position as study abroad coordinator somewhat unprepared for the demands of the job, but I leapt into it with gusto. One of my first projects was organizing a study abroad fair for all our exchange and consortial programs. I thought this was a wonderful and unique idea at the time. From that first fair, our exchange applications grew tenfold and I was faced with what I now call predeparture orientations (then they were just called “What do I do now?”).
One applicant...]]></description>

         <title>Cultural Immersion</title>

         <description><![CDATA[Achieving The Elusive Perspective Shift
By Karen Rodriguez
Some programs define cultural immersion as simply “being there,” asserting that physically studying in another country is an immersion in itself and that knowledge of another culture and language will follow naturally. While such programs range widely in design and learning outcomes, many educators feel that such an assumption can be limiting.
The elusive perspective shift that comes from a deeper, more critical cultural immersion...]]></description>

         <title>But What About Quality in International Education?</title>
         <link>http://www.expayoo.com/news/but-what-about-quality-in-international-education-/</link>
         <description><![CDATA[By Barbara Burn
Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) is a household acronym with academic bureaucrats who set goals and try to define cost-effective approaches for our colleges and universities. Traditional approaches to quality control are being swept aside, extended, or reinvigorated as U.S. higher education is pushed towards ever higher levels of accomplishment and assessment. Unfortunately, this trend does not include international education and student and faculty exchanges. The now...]]></description>

         <title>Debunking Reasons Against Studying Abroad</title>

         <description><![CDATA[&#160;

By Brian Harley

Where can I go to get to other places?" paraphrases a question that I once received from a student. The allure of education abroad, through study and travel (not necessarily in that order), surpassed my passé mantra of academic rigor, cultural entry points, and provisions for safety and security. Travel persuasion was not necessary. I could already imagine her standing before a world map, filling it with pushpins.
Other students need more assurance. The academic and...]]></description>

         <title> Which Housing Arrangement is Best</title>

         <description><![CDATA[Choosing Your Accommodations Wisely
 By Jessica Brown
Housing arrangements may be the single most important factor in students’ enjoyment of their study abroad experience. Many programs allow students to choose whether they would like to live with a host family, in a university dormitory, or in a rented apartment. Each type of accommodation offers advantages and disadvantages, and determining which living situation will work best for you requires careful consideration of your personality, your...]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[How the Two Can Be Integrated
 By Dr. Anna Marie Roos
When I worked as a director of an honors program for an American state university a number of my honors students voiced their desire to study abroad, but then they seemed reluctant to make the commitment to international study. Some of the objections were typical of all students:
&#160;“It will cost too much” (until I pointed out that costs are often comparable to university study in the United States).
&#160;“I’ll get homesick.” (Yes, and...]]></description>

         <title> Why Study Abroad? </title>
         <link>http://www.expayoo.com/news/why-study-abroad-/</link>
         <description><![CDATA[What’s your dream? Touring castles in Scotland? Walking on the Great Wall of China? Working to improve the lives of women in rural Uganda? If you’re thinking of studying abroad, there’s no end to the places you can go, things you can see, and subjects you can study. At many top schools, such as Duke, Tufts, or Brown, over a third of the junior class take the opportunity to complete part of their education outside of the United States. Even if your school doesn’t have an extensive study abroad...]]></description>
