Study Abroad

Have you considered studying abroad? If you were to study abroad, what country would be an interesting country to visit and why? What barriers do you see to participating in this experience?
I haven't really considered studying abroad but after the presentation last class it does seem pretty interesting. If I were to study abroad, I would probably go to Spain. I've always wanted to go to Spain because my Dad's side of the family originated from Spain. For that reason I've always wanted to experience the Spanish culture. As a business major, I don't really know how it would directly affect me academically. I'm sure it would still be a very beneficial experience though. The biggest barrier with traveling to Spain is the fact that I don't speak Spanish. It would probably be very difficult to spend and extended period of time in Spain because of this considering most people that study abroad in Spain do it to improve their Spanish speaking skills. Another barrier in studying abroad is money. Its definitely something I would need a lot of if I were to study abroad and unfortunately something I don't have much of. So, if I was really serious about studying abroad I would have to get a job this summer and probably participate in the following spring.
