Dear Sue........
To be honest, I hadn't realized just how involved Paideia was with the Study Abroad program until after the first meeting, but that's cool because I'd been planning on it anyway. Studying abroad makes perfect sense for Paideia now that I've thought about it since the whole point is to stretch the liberal arts ideal till it hurts, right? Basically, I've known the whole time that I'm hoping to study abroad in Scotland (Stirling or St. Andrew's more specifically) just like I've known for years that I would be an English major. So far I'm planning on studying abroad during the summer before my senior year seeing as there are too many classes at SU I want to take and no reason that I can see for me to simply take an unnecessary slack-off vacation when I could be doing something productive in a country where everyone eats haggis.
I'm hoping to be able to take some courses centering around Shakespeare and medieval literature (though I know there are less courses to choose from in the summer) and I figured the UK would be the ideal place for furthering my studies in those areas. The only real worry I have about the program is affordability--a worry which obviously puts a limit on the "how long" question. I'd love to study in Scotland for an entire year but I don't have any delusions about that--even a single summer would be absolutely wonderful.
