Every student at Lee is required to study abroad at some point to graduate, and there are several different locations to pick from. The trips can be based on the student's major or not really related at all. The students at Lee all look forward to traveling to a different country and environment to learn and sight-see. Trips are taken to Ecuador, Australia, England, and SEVERAL others either every year or every other year. Students get school credit for going on these trips and the hours they receive depend on the trip they go on.
I have yet to decide where I will be studying abroad, but I do have I while before I have to decide where to go. However, I think that once I get an anchor down on the major I want (which may be a while) then it will be easier to may a choice.
Studying abroad broadens the perspectives of students. It introduces them to a whole new culture. A new experience. A new world. This is one of Lee's greater aspects, and has huge impacts on the lives of students. Although I have not studied abroad yet and don't have personal experience yet, I know that traveling to a different country, learning, and working with others has to have a significant impact on Lee students.
