Take a chance to study in Europe
By Jennifer Hancock

The Czech Agricultural University is inviting students to spend six weeks in central Europe this summer. Not only will they have an opportunity to travel, learn about a new culture, and visit some of the most famous places in Europe, they will be getting nine college credit hours too.

Craig Hays, a junior agribusiness management major went on the Prague study abroad trip his freshman year.

"Traveling outside of the classroom and outside of the country is just awesome. It was really cool to see all the different places,” Hays said.

The Prague trip gives students the opportunity to travel the country with several day trips. Along with the day trips, there is a six-day trip to travel the country. The students also have time on the weekends to visit some of the other countries surrounding Prague. Some students say the highlight of their trip was staying with a Czech family for three days.

“The Prague trip gives you such a different perspective. You see more and learn more. It’s good to break down stereotypes and learn about yourself,” Roy Robinson, CAFNR Study Abroad Director said.

CAFNR is now accepting application for the Prague trip. The deadline is March 1, 2006. The total cost for the trip is $5,595. Any MU student may apply as long as they have a 2.0 GPA and good academic standing. The destined students will be headed to Prague June 17-July 30, 2006.
