California dreamin'

The greatest thing about our winter break is that it allows for a lengthy vacation!

I'm heading to California for some fun in the sun over my last two weeks off of school. Other students are taking advantage of semester break by earning credit abroad. At the University of Minnesota, students have the opportunity to learn abroad during winter break, May term, summer, fall or spring semester, or even for a full year. The University's Learning Abroad Center has amazing advising services and planning programs to help you choose the learning abroad experience that best fits your schedule, goals, and academic needs. They even provide some scholarships!

The University of Minnesota is also a member of the National Student Exchange program which allows students to study at other universities within the country while earning credit at the U of M. So, technically, I could take a seminar at a college in California while I'm there. But I think I'll save that for another time--after all of this cold Minnesota weather, I'm ready for the beach!

I hope that you are enjoying your winter break as much as I am. I'll be back soon...
