Steve Beasley says he learned more
in his fourth year of college than in the
other three years combined. And he
wasn't even at UNL

"If it's something you want to do, go
for it," Beasley said. "It's the expe
rience of a lifetime. There's a certain
knowledge you can only learn from
being there (in another country) and
making mistakes. It's about life and
human nature. You learn a different
way of looking at your own society."
Beasley, an tnglish and Spanish maior.
attended the University of Seville in
Seville, Spain.
The foreign studies progam is spon
sored by the UNL Institute of Interna
tional Studies. It includes 11 interna
tional studies programs at 1 1 universit
ies, and the International Student Ex
change Program (ISEP), which includes
80 universities.
Students must have a grade point
average of at least 3.2 to qualify for the
international study program, said Joan
Blackburn of the institute. Some pro
grams require a higher GPA, depending
on me university, sne said.
Students also are expected to be
able to write and communicate fluently
in tne language of the country in which
they are to study.
Blackburn said several students who
have studied abroad report that they
lacked confidence in their speaking
and listening abilities of the foreign
language before they left. They returned
to the United States fluent in the new
language.
Students may study in foreign coun
tries for one or two semesters, depend
ing on the program, Blackburn said. A
student may live with a host family or
in residence halls, Blackburn said.
Each university has its own housing
regulations.
Problems with credit transferrals
are minimal in the foreign study pro
gram, said UNL senior Stephanie Van
denack, who studied in Bordeaux,
France.
Because a UNL organization spon
sors the program, students' credits eas
ily transfer. That probably wouldn't be
the case if students attended a foreign
university on their own, Vandenack
said.
"They (international study program)
also take care of the little bureaucratic
things like getting a student visa,"
Vandenack said.
Students accepted into ISEP pay a
$100 replacement fee, Blackburn said.
The program pays tuition and living
expenses for the student.
She said tuition and travel cost from
$2,000 to $4,000, depending on where
students decide to study.
Beasley said he paid the Council on
pletely different world."
Students interested in international
study can find information at the Insti
tute of International Studies at 1237 R
St., Room 201.
