Why participate in a Bing Overseas Studies Program?

Every Stanford undergraduate should give serious consideration to studying away

Your time with BOSP will equip you with transformative educational experiences that inspire you to embrace new challenges in complex global settings. Nearly one-half of each graduating class studies away through BOSP during their undergraduate career at Stanford.

Studying in Kyoto gave me a firsthand perspective on some of the issues and concepts learned in class. It was neat to read about specific temples and sculptures in class and then take a field trip to see the temple in the same week. There is no better place to learn about some of these subjects than when you are completely immersed in the environment.
