Though life may present her with other opportunities to travel,
Elizabeth Miller ‘13CPS is sure that nothing will outshine the
first time she saw Europe through the Global Studies Program at St.
John’s University.
“It was wonderful,” Elizabeth says of St. John’s
Discover the World program, which lets students live and learn
in three European cities in a single semester. “We were in gorgeous
neighborhoods, a short walk to some of the most famous sites in the
world.”
In fact, studying abroad is a big reason why Elizabeth came to
St. John’s. “I was very impressed when I heard that students can
get
financial aid specifically to study abroad,” she said. “I think
every student should do it.”
Sign Up Now to Study Abroad This Spring
Now is the time for St. John’s students to
apply for this spring’s study abroad options through Discover
the World, says Matthew G. Pucciarelli, Associate Vice President of
Global Studies at St. John’s.
“You have to act fast,” he notes. “Even though there’s still
time for spring and winter, the opportunities usually don’t
last.”
This spring, students can apply for Discover the World: Europe,
which allows students to spend their study abroad semester in three
great cities — Rome, Italy; Paris, France; and Seville, Spain.
In Italy, students live at St. John’s centrally located
campus in Rome. The Paris segment features St. John’s beautiful
facility in the city’s popular St.-Germain district. In Spain,
students live and learn in the cosmopolitan city of
Seville.
Or they can apply for one of the University’s semester-long
programs in either
Rome or
Paris. These city-specific programs give students an entire
semester at the University’s Rome campus or Paris center.
The choices are more varied when students consider the study
abroad programs scheduled for the Winter Intersession. Check the
Global Studies’ program’s
Winter Intersession site for details.
