The fall semester at Fordham
is almost over which means the end of classes, finals, winter break, and for
some students, preparing to study abroad during the spring semester! While spending time on Fordham’s campus and
NYC is great, a part of the Fordham experience is the opportunity to study abroad. Many students who decide to study abroad go during the
spring semester of their junior year.
There are also options to study abroad during the fall semester and over
the summer. Being in New York there are so
many opportunities, but going abroad for a semester will be an entirely new
adventure!
I have always wanted to
study abroad, and I went to a couple study abroad fairs held at Fordham during
my sophomore year. At the fair, I
learned about different programs and options, and was able ask lots of questions. Another resource that I used quite often was
the International Study Abroad Programs (ISAP) office. Their website lists all the programs that
Fordham students have gone on in the past, different types of programs, and pictures. I made several appointments and got to ask
even more questions, and finally decided to go to Paris! Below is the link to the ISAP website:
After landing on Paris, I
picked a program. I decided to go to
Paris through the Academic Programs Abroad (APA). I was even able to get in touch with Fordham students who had gone to Paris with APA in the past and hear about their experiences. APA will give me the opportunity to meet new
students, speak French, go on trips, and take classes. I can't wait to live
in Paris for a semester, and travel around Europe and meet up with other
Fordham students who are also studying abroad.

After the planning process,
I am getting so excited about my decision to study abroad in Paris, but I will definitely miss being at Rose Hill! I would definitely
recommend looking into study abroad, using the many resources available, and
seeing if it is something that will become a part of your time at Fordham!
