Semester At Sea
I wanted to deviate the focus of my blog a little bit and talk about Semester at Sea. This is a study abroad program based from the University of Virginia that takes students across the world via boat - having a cruise ship as the campus. I am going this summer for the two month semester and think it is something worth sharing. SAS is so unique because it allows students to see the world in a completely different light. They don't have to pick one country, they can pick 14, or in my case 7. Everyone that has participated in SAS claims it is the best experience they've ever been on. Our travels are integrated into our classes and we have field reports where we see first hand the stuff we are learning about. I am so excited for the experience and wanted to share it with you guys! Here's the link if you're interested: www.semesteratsea.org

Awesome idea. I know SHU Honors student Kathryn Bellico did SAS and loved it too. Bon voyage!
ReplyDeleteGoing for a semester at sea is such a brilliant program. Congratulations for getting in and best of luck this summer. My younger brother wants to take part in this program too because it lines up with his maritime studies major but he can't figure out what year of college it would be best to go during.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like fun! I sure it will be a great experience for you and I am sure you will have a great time. Learning on boat I am sure will but different, but an excellent experience at the same time! Have fun!! =)
ReplyDeleteI'm so jealous - this sounds like an amazing oppertunity!! The woman that I worked for this past summer, studied for a semester at sea and she had such great things to say about it! I'm sure you will have some amazing experiences and meet a great group of students!
