Study abroad, Search the world

San Diego City College offers a variety of Study Abroad programs to current students interested in expanding their horizons and learning useful life skills.Marion Froehlich, the International Education Coordinator of City College, stated that students make progress towards completing the requirements of their educational plans to transfer to a four-year university while participating in an enhanced learning experience in another culture.Students can also get a lot of exposure while studying in such universities and different course Global Production Engineering, and Economics.


The program offers a rare opportunity for students to grasp a new outlook on the world.While studying the history in Argentina,Froehlich explained,they can understand it better because they are living with people who have lived through times of historical upheaval, such as the Dirty War.The students who studied there for Fall met with a mother who lost her son during the Dirty War, and watched her march in front of the equivalent of our White House to protest these disappearances, according to Froehlich.

Esteban Frausto, a City College student majoring in anthropology, said his experience was like a full frontal force and almost an epiphany, in that it helped him realize that anthropology was exactly what he wanted to be doing.The trip changed and influenced me in many ways, Spanish major Maya Espinoza.I made friends with views that contrast mine which I never would have met in San Diego. My entire lifestyle changed so much, and I have made resolutions to continue to include some of these changes in my American life.Being thrown into a strange and new environment may be difficult and frightening at first, but at the same time it can be a beautiful learning experience, leaving students with the skills and know how of competent world travelers and navigators.When asked about some advantages Study Abroad students have over other students, City College scholar Sarah Alami shared some wonderful insights from her previous Argentina trip.I believe that most of the students who have been abroad are more open-minded, Alami shared. They probably adapt more easily to different environments. They also have the chance to a wider perspective of life in general. It is good for their personal development; studying abroad opens your eyes.
