Some students used the winter and spring breaks to do a little traveling. It also provided a nice vacation and relaxation from busy student life. However, the IMC program offers a global residency (new this year) and global trip in the summer/second to last quarter of school (this year the trip is to India and Singapore). So that could be another opportunity as well! Look for future posts on both. :) K Hi Cindy,

Certainly hope so! When I left my job last summer to travel before moving to Evanston" Whoa! You got to travel before heading into grad school? I am wondering if I should do that before Fall '08. Then again, NU costs a pretty penny and I've been saving. Any thoughts? “To me the fulfillment I receive from learning outweighs the opportunity cost incurred.”
