travel/study/work/volunteer abroad

has anyone ever done this? Where is a good place to go?...i'm leaning towards Europe, but I really have no idea how to go about doing this. I've read that some places let you stay with a family there, while others arrange an apartment. Anyone know anything about doing this? I'm not really looking to study anywhere because i will be graduating in december '06, but I wouldn't mind picking up another language or something. tell me what you know about this!

You should speak to your counselor, he or she will be able to point you in the right direction. It is hard to give you specifics when you are asking such a general question.

I am studying abroad [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
I had a guidance counselor help me through the process as well as connections with the french embassy in Florida.
Studying in a different country has been a wonderful learning experience.
