Which Program is better for Studying Abroad?

Question

program <A> lasts for a month but only gives me one high school credit, accommodation is in a hotel, and there is lots of sight-seeing on the side

program <B> lasts for 3 months, it gives me 6 high school credits, but I would have to live with a host-family and there is not that much ''tourist-things-to-do like sight-seeing" instead u volunteer/work more (its Co-op basically)

I can't choose between A and B..HELP

Answer 1

i would probably do B.  the touristy things get old. when i studied abroad i just loved hanging out with the local people and i WISH i could have stayed there three months. and i think the volunteer stuff sounds fun (as long as it isn&#039;t hard labor and as long as you have free time during the day) lucky you!

my host family was very nice. the only bad thing is since you&#039;re still in highschool you might have more restrictions. good luck.

Answer 2

Program B is better to jump ahead in school but Program A sounds way more exciting which is usually the point of choosing to study abroad - for me anyway. If you feel you can honestly live with a host-family for 3 months knowing that you will miss out on sight-seeing in a different country but will accomplish more school-wise then choose B. If not, choose A.
