Note to Sophomores and Juniors About Applying for Spring Term Abroad
Don't wait until the last minute to submit your 
Yale Year or Term Abroad application!  If you are 
planning on studying abroad for spring 2008, 
please note that we are now accepting and 
reviewing applications (application forms are 
available at 
http://www.yale.edu/iefp/studyabroad/forms?mm=4). 
Most students who turn in completed, routine 
applications (routine = approved Programs; meet 
all requirements as listed in YCPS and the study 
abroad web site) will have an answer from the 
Year or Term Abroad Committee within a week.   Do 
not wait until you have received an acceptance 
from your chosen study abroad program before 
applying to Yale -- whether or not you have 
received acceptance to your program, your Yale 
application must be submitted to IEFP by our deadline (October 15).


Exchange Rate Getting You Down?
Are you worried about the decreased buying power 
of the dollar?  Then think about study abroad 
options outside of  Europe and the UK.  Do you 
speak Spanish?  Then try Latin America.  And for 
you French speakers, why not consider 
Sénégal?  If you are looking for an English 
speaking alternative to the UK, then why not 
South Africa or Tanzania? You can also take 
courses in English in places such as India and 
Turkey.  To find out what is available, take a 
look at the Regions pages of the study abroad 
website 
http://www.yale.edu/iefp/studyabroad/approved/index.html?mm=3, 
then schedule an appointment with a study abroad 
advisor in IEFP (call 432-8684 to schedule an appointment).
