Thanks, he currently wants to do architectural engineering so we'll see where he is in a few years.Mine wasn't able to go abroad and get the degrees she wants. It's all STEM related and her dept. is picky about classes taken elsewhere. Also she's premed, and none of those classes can be taken outside the US (that's from the med schools, not her college). Study abroad wasn't that important to her and she says she'd rather get the degrees she is working on, but if you son is interested in study abroad then I'd suggest making sure he picks a program that allows it. Her college has lots of kids study abroad, but many of the courses they take are more of the general-ed/distribution stuff and she had pretty much finished up with those before junior year. All the colleges we visited had study abroad programs - it's very common and pretty cool really - but a bit tougher for STEM kids. Most (but definitely not all) of the hard science kids I know did not go abroad. Math and CS are the exception.
