LVAIC Study Abroad Programs
Summer 2008

"If you want to study another international language or culture, go there.  What you can learn from studying abroad is undescribable.  You will see things differently, learn so much, and have lots of fun!"
— Rebecca Moore, Moravian College

"This was one of the best experiences I've ever had and I would recommend it to everyone who wants to learn about another culture."
— Sarah Farney, Cedar Crest College

"This program taught me so much more information that I could never get out of a textbook or in class.  The experience was amazing, and I would do it again in a second."
— Mojca Branc, Moravian College

"Definitely do it!  This has been one of the most memorable experiences of my life and I feel I have grown as a person living in a city, going abroad alone, and making god friends while here!  LVAIC deserves a great thanks!"
— Kate Tintrup, Lafayette College

"Whether you can dedicate an entire semester or just a summer session to studying abroad, the immersion in the culture and language is unlike any experience that can be created in a college classroom.  If you are serious about learning the language, studying abroad is the best and most authentic way to learn about the daily life and language of the culture.  It is essential!"
— Melissa Bodnar, Cedar Crest College
