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 2009, please note that we are now accepting and reviewing applications (application forms are available at http://www.yale.edu/yalecollege/international/advising/type/study/application.html). 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 the study abroad office 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?mm=3, then schedule an appointment with a study abroad advisor (call 432-8684 to schedule an appointment).
