Wondering when to go abroad? Here are five reasons fall might be your best bet.

Fall-Only Programs

Some programs only run in the fall, including engineering in Strasbourg, France, acting at Shakespeare’s Globe in London, England, Spanish immersion in Santiago, Chile, and health and science in Madrid, Spain.

Whatever your major, there may be a fall option that fits.

Better Odds

Fall programs tend to offer more availability, which can mean more housing choices and a better shot at your first-choice program. Looking to study in Florence or Madrid? Applying for fall can make it easier to land there at the same time as your friends.

Similar Cost

You keep your institutional aid on a Syracuse Abroad program, so costs are similar to studying on campus. There are also a handful of grants and scholarships available for fall programs!

Holidays Abroad

Fall means holiday magic in Europe, from some of the oldest Christmas markets to cultural events like the Strasbourg World Forum on Democracy.

Personal Growth

A fall semester abroad provides a unique opportunity to reflect and grow in a new environment. Launch your spring semester back on campus with fresh perspectives and newfound passions.

Ready to start? Fall applications open November 15 and close March 15.
