Attn: BU Grad Students, Have You Studied Abroad?

[Christina Brown]

Hi everyone. The name's Christina. I am in the process of applying to graduate school. One of my choices is Boston University's LEAP Program in the engineering department. At my alta mater, I did not study abroad and I want to try to do this as a graduate student because I want to make global connections with others outside my social space.

Now I went to BU's Study Abroads Website and it states "Applications from graduate students must be accompanied by a letter of support from the Director of Graduate Studies for your program or from your faculty advisor." Does that mean that graduate students at Boston University are eligible to study abroad? If so, this would be amazing! Have any current BU graduate students or alumni on this site studied abroad and if so, how complicated was the application process? Thanks! Woot and grats to everyone on April 15th. I will be with you guys next year in academia!
