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.

Re: travel/study/work/volunteer abroad
you could easily study abroad in the fall 06 semester, unless leaving your school for your last semester is a bad thing. Depending on the program you go with, you usually have a choice to stay with a family or either a dorm, or apartment. As far as work goes, obtaining a work permit as an american to work a "normal job" in europe is not the easiiest thing to do. A good option is to go somewhere other then Britain, and teach english. I've spent a bunch of time stidying abroad the last two years, not europe however, and alot of my friends have taught english. If you go the work route, there will be less structure in terms of people finding you places to live. in my experiance though, finding shelter is rarely a problem. there ar lots of people wjo rent apartments to young foreigners. as for volunteering, research NGO's operating whereever you want to go. also look into internships.
