by Robert Gilpin, Caroline Fitzgibbons, Fred Hargadon (Preface by)

There is a world of opportunity waiting outside the classroom--you can intern for a senator in Washington, study art history in Greece, learn Mandarin Chinese in China, build a boat in Maine, or participate in the hundreds of summer, semester, and year programs in the United States and around the world.
Descriptions of the over 350 programs featured include complete phone numbers and addresses of programs; cost; financial aid; housing information; application process and age range of participants.
Plus, indispensable information on getting your life organized for a break; deciding what program is right for you; opportunities for the handicapped; phone numbers of foreign embassies in Washington, D.C. and sources for low-cost air travel.
