I hope the administrations of other fine and expensive institutions in this region also read this article in today's Globe:

I never even considered frivolities like Junior Year Abroad. Not with parents who considered it a big issue when I asked for a new winter jacket during my freshman year.

When I was in college I don't remember even hearing about study-abroad options. Were it possible I wouldn't have been able to, but I didn't even know I was missing out on it at the time. Maybe I wasn't and it's a newer thing. I sure do hear a lot more about it now than then, including from the non-rich.

Interesting article; thanks for sharing it.
