Travel anyone…maybe study abroad?
I guess, I would if I had to go to the Bahamas and chill for two weeks and earn some credit hours for it, lol. Seriously though, the Nichols Program is a great way to get out and see the world. We’re not talking about joining the Navy either. Each year, several professors sponsor a trip through an endowed program known as Nichols. A couple on slate for this year are a trip to the Bahamas to sail throughout many of the islands and study marine biology or go to Greece to study the culture both modern and ancient. Of course it’s a summer trip so it’s not all business. There’s plenty of time to relax and check out the awesome scenery or work on the tan (if you’re into that sorta thing). The great thing is that you don’t have to spend thousands of dollars doing it. The programs are really affordable due to the endowment. It can also go towards you studying abroad in places like Spain, France, or England to name a few if you’re interested in actually leaving town for a semester. Lyon has deals worked out with several sister institutions around the world so you can experience a different culture for long term. Either way, you can expect to have an amazing experience you may not get to have anywhere else.
