Tim Hull, a sophomore in bio-process engineering, was interested in the Strasbourg, France program. He said it would be an eye-opening experience and a chance to see a very different culture.
His opinion was supported by the words of the director of the Strasbourg program, Raymond Bach.
"Strasbourg offers the possibility of seeing the world outside of the Anglo-Saxon box," Bach said.
Hull also added that the location of Strasbourg would make him able to travel throughout Europe.
"Strasbourg opens a lot of opportunities, not only because of its European role, but also because of its ideal situation in the continent," Hull said.
In addition to the established programs, SU Abroad has opened a new one in Santiago, Chile. Stella Zemlin, admissions counselor for the program, said Chile has a lot to give in terms of business, public affairs and arts and sciences.
The particularity of the Santiago classes is a complete immersion: students study at the Universidad de Chile, surrounded by Chilean students, Zemlin said.
"Chile's government worked jointly with the private businesses in the 90s to obtain a stable economy, and there are many successful examples of that," she said. "Santiago has a vast offer in every major discipline, from business to dramatic arts."
