College is a time to expand your horizons and explore the world, and what better way to do so than by studying abroad? Whether it’s during the summer or in place of a regular semester, these popular international programs will provide an experience that you won’t have anywhere else. Here are some of the best.

One of the most popular programs in the world, this program in the Catalonia capitol lets students pursue classes in business or liberal arts in an academically rigorous and culturally energizing environment.

School For International Training
Located in Cape Town, South Africa, SIT’s Multiculturalism and Human Rights program puts college students in the middle of one of the most culturally divided countries of the 20th century and places them in an experiential learning environment that rewards initiative and experimentation.

The Umbria Institute
Perugia, Italy hosts one of Europe’s most popular study abroad programs, offering both single-semester and summer programs that immerse students into the cradle of Western culture. It’s also a great party and socializing scene.

Danish Institute For Study Abroad

Simply Thai Restaurant: The Name Says It All

May 15, 2013 9:01 am

Simply Thai Restaurant serves authentic Thai cuisine. Its long menu is a testament to the owners’ restaurant experience, which started in Bangkok. Popular dishes include the papaya salad and the spicy fried fried rice with chicken. There are many vegetarian options, including vegetarian Pad Thai. Many regulars come for the weekday lunch specials which offer a spring roll, soup, salad, and entree – choose from 20 – for about $8. Dinner pricing is reasonable too and the portions are satisfying. The decor is simple yet appropriate, with wooden Asian-style chairs and white linens making it perfect for any occasion. Dishes run spicy, so let your server know if you prefer it mild.
