Q: Have you had an internship, or participated in a Study Abroad or Study in America program?
A: "The only thing I have participated in an internship."
"I intern at the elementary here in San Marcos, and I work closely with the counselor because that is kind of what I want to do when I grow up."
Q: What do you think should be done to make these programs more accessible to students?
A: "Definitely a lot of outreaches, and maybe like have certain people go into classes."
"Speak out about what kind of programs there are because I don't think a lot of people know."
"Also if [they] could work closely with all of the [student] organizations...it would be cool to have certain people from the Study abroad come and talk about [that] kind of stuff."
Q: How do students benefit from these programs?
A: "I have never done [Study Abroad] but I believe that it would be beneficial, or that they would learn a lot with culture. Also just kind of learning how other people live and being in a different area besides just the US."
"I think it is important because it broadens their knowledge about other people in general."
Q: Do you think there is a downfall to such programs?
A: "The only downfall would be the cost, but that just comes with what we do."

A: " No, not really."
