Study Abroad Expo

    The commencement lawn was once again buzzing with students as the CSULB Study Abroad expo made its appearance on October 12, 2011.
     Depending on the classes you choose to take, along with the country you wish to reside in, the right program for you was probably there. Ranging from semester programs to a semester at sea the booths were filled with information packets, business cards, and brochures to help students find the program that fits them best.
     When asked about the difference between a semester at sea and a regular study abroad program, Liza Vogal, the correspondent for the ICS Study Abroad program, stated, "It's completely different. The semester at sea is usually more focused on environmental studies and is at sea for the majority of the time. They dock at different countries and that's when students get to go on their excursions. However a regular study abroad program includes room and board, transportation, tuition, and a few excursions, so you can't really compare the two because they're completely different.
    The range of programs and majors offered allowed students to get the information they needed.
