More Students Studying Abroad
The number of undergraduates studying abroad reached an all-time high, with 218 students hitting the books in programs overseas during 2007–08. That figure represents a 9 percent jump over the previous year—slightly higher than a nationwide spike, according to the Institute of International Education annual report Open Doors. Barcelona, Spain; the United Kingdom; and Italy remain popular destinations for University students, although an increasing number are capitalizing on programs in Australia and New Zealand.
