The Best Travel Discounts for College Students

Your college years are some of your best years to take advantage of your youth, freedom, and a relative abundance of time. While to some students it might not seem like college is really home to anything close to an "abundance" of time, it won't take long to realize that life post-education is a lot less unbound. That being said, college can still be a tough time to travel, as most college students aren't rolling around in extra income. For this reason, it's important that the traveling student remain constantly wily and always on the lookout for the best deal of offer. We'll talk about a few of the ways that college students can cut corners on traveling costs, so that you can get out there and see the world before you find yourself locked into a full-time job (which won't be a bad thing, but isn't great for travel).

If you feel like it's something you've never felt before, then you're entirely right. When you graduate college, for the first time (and probably for one of the only times) you'...

The 5 Best Majors for Studying Abroad

Study abroad programs are one of the most enticing aspects of higher education. Every year, thousands of American undergraduates climb over each other to claim these selective opportunities. If you think it sounds like fun to spend a semester (or two. Or three...) "studying" in another country, then you're not alone. These programs have a reputation for being light on academic rigor and heavy on the sangria. While that may sometimes be the reality, most study abroad programs are viewed as an asset on a student's resume. Employers and graduate schools understand that study abroad experience is an invaluable experiment in cultural immersion. So what are the best majors for studying abroad? You can't, after all, spend six months in Serbia if you're pursuing one of the many online social work degrees. The truth of the matter is: some majors are routinely selected to go abroad in greater numbers than the rest. If you're dead set on spending part of college ...
