[nabs-l] Study abroad advise

[Ashley Bramlett]

Hi Priscilla,

Well, with all the trouble you had finding an assistant and the 
administration raising flags about liability, it doesn't sound like a fun 
way to start a trip.

Now you don't have that hastle and can move on.  I'm sure you're not the 
only upset one.  All students who signed up were hoping for a great 
experience.  I agree with your mother, that there will be other 
opportunities to study abroad.  You can make that happen.  No it will not be 
the same as in college.  But you can do it while you're still a young adult 
like your 20s or 30s before marriage.  You can still learn even though it 
won't be for course cridit.  Learning should be life long.

Enjoy college and its nice you're on the way to graduation.  I wonder what 
you're studying.

Ashley
