Like a growing number of college students across the country, Teresa Welsh considered spending a semester studying abroad.
â??But Iâ??ve heard from a lot of people that you basically go and hang out with other Americans or English speakers, live in a dorm with others like you and donâ??t necessarily integrate yourself with the culture or students in your classes,â? says Welsh, who is set to graduate from UW-Madison in May with a double major in journalism and Latin American studies. â??Thatâ??s not what I wanted.â?
