UF's International Center will host its Study Abroad Fair from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the Reitz Union Colonnade today and Wednesday.

Nearly 100 countries will be represented, including Australia, Brazil, Nicaragua and China.

UF has the largest study abroad fair in the U.S., according to the center's Executive Associate Director, Susanne Hill. About 2,000 students stopped by fall's showcase.

Tuesday's fair, which will run two days for the first time, will showcase only UF-sponsored programs, while Wednesday will feature independent programs.

Hill said UF faculty program sponsors, study abroad advisers, a financial adviser and students who have recently studied abroad will be available to answer questions.

"Students will be able to learn about all the different opportunities available to them," she said.

Study abroad adviser Angela Grindal, who spent a semester in Spain, encouraged students to come out to the fair.

"It's a culture shock," she said. "You see a different country, different family values and different views. You can open yourself up to a different way of life."
