There is something inexplicable about an abroad experience. You can study other cultures as much as you want, but until you're actually there, living it, you can't possibly imagine it. I am so glad that I was lucky enough to have the opportunity!

- Alex Barba, Class of 2010

So you're interested in studying abroad during your time at Carleton, but you just can't figure out where to go? The OCS Worlds Fair will be in the Great Hall in early January from 11:30-1:30pm. You can talk with other student returnees about their experiences and to explore your options! More details coming up later in fall term.

What you can expect at the Worlds Fair

The OCS Worlds Fair will have several tables set up and organized by region of the world. You'll be able to walk around the room at your leisure talking to student and faculty representatives of more programs than you can imagine. At each table, there will be plenty of brochures and information packets for you to take home with you after you leave the fair. Slide shows of students' pictures from their time abroad will make this event a real treat. Speaking of treats, did we mention that there will be snacks?
