The UF International Center will host its Fall Study Abroad Fair from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Wednesday on the Reitz Union Colonnade.
Students can learn about study abroad opportunities from representatives of the various UF and non-UF programs, said fair coordinator Delainie McNeil.
Some programs that will have tables set up at the fair include Latin American studies and photojournalism. According to the International Center’s website, trip locations include Germany, England, China and Tanzania.
“I didn’t realize how many options you have to choose from,” said Sara Kesneck, a 19-year-old communication sciences and disorders sophomore.
Students can explore different options for paying for study abroad trips at a financial aid table. The deadline to apply for scholarships for Spring study abroad is Sept. 28, while the application to study abroad is due Oct. 15, McNeil said.
“We are hoping to capture an audience of students who are interested in studying abroad,” she said.
Meghan Pryce, a 19-year-old journalism sophomore, studied abroad in Greece and Spain with the College of Journalism and Communications this summer.
“It is an indescribable experience. I can’t explain how awesome it was,” Pryce said. “I would definitely recommend students to go to the study abroad fair … even if they think they can’t afford it.”
