We just had an info session on Kenyon's program in conjunction with the University of Exeter. Basically, about fifteen students go over there for their entire junior year and take four classes within the university system as well as a seminar taught by the resident director (an English prof from Kenyon). Other than that seminar and a two-week planned tour around some part of Britain (it might be Britain and Ireland...not sure) during part of the five-week spring break, you function as a student at the university.
Did I mention that Kenyon gives you a stipend (~$1500) for each of the two month-long vacations? And they encourage you to travel? ANd you get to take classes not at Kenyon? And you live in an actual city, not a hamlet in the middle of nowhere? Two hours from London? In really pretty countryside? Ten miles from the ocean?
We saw pictures. They were gorgeous. I. Want. To. Go. NOW!
*bounces some more* *spazzes all over the room*
I knew I wanted to go before, but now I really, really am totally sure. This is what I want to do with my life next year. Yes.
Oh, and![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
spockette? And possibly other people I know over in that general Europe direction? Expect visitors. ;)

Exeter is lovely, I've been there on holiday (well, been somewhere near there and visited for the day).
The pictures certainly seemed lovely, as did the little get-tourists-to-come-here video they showed. It looked awesome.
