Study Abroad

 

About 35% of Carroll School students will study abroad during their junior year. Most students will go for one semester, but a few will study abroad for an entire year. 

I highly recommend students study abroad because it allows for one to explore the world beyond the BC “bubble” and see it from a different perspective. Second, depending on the particular program you are in, it gives you the opportunity to meet either other BC students who you have not met before or to meet students from different schools all over the world. Third, you get to travel all the time with your friends which is always fun!
