　　study abroad

　　Studying abroad is the act of a student pursuing educational opportunities in a foreigncountry. Typically classes taken while studying abroad award credits transferable to higher education institutions in the home country. However, students may pursue these opportunities at any age and may not require college credit. Students studying abroad may live in a dormitory or apartment with other students or with a host family, a group of people who live in that country and agree to provide student lodging.

　　Length of study can range from one week, usually during a domestic break, to an academic year.

　　Topics of study can vary. Some students choose to study abroad in order to learn a language from native speakers. Others may take classes in their academic major in a place that allows them to expand their hands-on experience . Still other students may study abroad in order to explore topics within the framework of a different educational system .

　　The act of studying abroad originated at the University of Delaware. In 1923, Professor Raymond W. Kirkbride sent a group of 8 students to Paris, France. At the time, the concept of students studying in a different country was incredibly unconventional. Kirkbrides program was originally named the Foreign Study Plan. For a period of time, study abroad was seen as an option primarily for foreign language students. Recently this has changed, and the scope of study abroad programs has increased greatly.
