Im supposed to go to France for a school trip in summer

[FirstLight]

And now I am looking at study abroad opportunities in the UK and Ireland for Fall.
I don't know if it will be "safer" but I don't think I will want to come back to the US immediately.

Besides, what better place to study archaeology and ancient history studies than where theres Neolithic sites everywhere!

1. Take any chance you can get.

Study abroad is worth its weight in gold. And might allow you to stay in a country you might prefer.

2. I wish that sort of opportunity had been available to me!

Take it, enjoy, learn more than you thought you could!
Love Newgrange, Nowth and Dowth in Ireland, haven't gotten to Stonehenge (get a special tour outside regular hours)...see it all while you're young!

5. Lol .. I don't know about Young!

56 this year, but they have some special scholarships for older students too...

3. Bon Voyage! Don't forget to go online and get an Electronic Travel Authorization for the UK

It’s a new requirement which allows you to travel in the UK for 6 months and transit thru the Uk

Go to GOV.UK

4. Get that visa process started now

It’s expensive and can take long for the UK, if you’re doing a student visa.

7. Yes, I see schools have Feb 1 deadlines

...i sent a message to my Global Ed person at Arizona State University where I am currently attending.

9. Ha! Totally 😁

The actual class in France is called "Food and Culture" so we'll be tasting the best stuff!!! Considering that I have been in love with France since my HS french classes, it's definitely a bucket list trip!!! ☺️✨
