 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;is the act of a student pursuing educational opportunities in a foreign  country. Typically, classes taken while studying abroad award credits  transferable to higher education institutions in the home country;  however, students may pursue these opportunities at any age and may not  require college credit. Students studying abroad may live in a dormitory  or apartment with other students or with a "host family", a group of  people who live in that country and agree to provide student lodging.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;Topics  of study can vary. Some students choose to study abroad in order to  learn a language from native speakers. Others may take classes in their  academic major in a place that allows them to expand their hands-on  experience, Still other students may study abroad  in order to explore topics within the framework of a different  educational system&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;Higher education  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;refers to a level of education that is provided by universities,  vocational universities, community colleges, liberal arts colleges,  institutes of technology and other collegiate level institutions, such  as vocational schools, trade schools and career colleges, that award  academic degrees or professional certifications.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;Higher  vocational education and training takes place at the non-university  tertiary level. Such education combines teaching of both practical  skills and theoretical expertise. Higher education differs from other  forms of post-secondary education such as that offered by institutions  of vocational education, which are more colloquially known as trade  schools. Higher vocational education might be contrasted with education  in a usually broader scientific field, which might concentrate on theory  and abstract conceptual knowledge. A Vocational university is an  institution of higher education and sometime research, which grants  Professional degrees like Professional Bachelor's degree, Professional  Master's degree and Professional doctorates in a variety of subjects.There are vocational universities in Applied sciences and arts&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6258756231179302587-8517179845187241028?l=studyabroad-jj.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://studyabroad-jj.blogspot.com/feeds/8517179845187241028/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://studyabroad-jj.blogspot.com/2009/07/study-abroad.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6258756231179302587/posts/default/8517179845187241028'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6258756231179302587/posts/default/8517179845187241028'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://studyabroad-jj.blogspot.com/2009/07/study-abroad.html' title='study abroad'/><author><name>jj</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07459196395972966107</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
