The deadline is nearing for those seeking to study away next semester. Students must turn in their applications to the International Center by 4:30 this afternoon in order for Macalester to approve their study abroad plans.
The Study Abroad office is expecting to receive between 100 and 120 applications. The college puts a per-semester cap of 115 on the number of students studying abroad.
“I think it’ll be right around the number the provost wants to send,” Study Abroad Coordinator Katherine Yngve said.
The picture this semester is shaping up to be noticeably different from the situation a year ago, when 200 applicants applied for 139 available spots. The college eventually sent 177 abroad.
Last semester, after Provost Diane Michelfelder imposed the per-semester cap, over 120 students applied to study away this Fall, traditionally the less popular semester for studying overseas.
“It feels a lot less busy than it was this time last year,” Yngve said.
As students submit their applications for off-campus study, the faculty is expected to vote this Wednesday to change the way in which applications are reviewed. The review committee will likely include two faculty members this year. One faculty member has sat on the committee for the past several years.

I have observed that over the course of constructing a relationship with real estate entrepreneurs, you’ll be able to get them to understand that, in every real estate financial transaction, a fee is paid. Finally, FSBO sellers tend not to “save” the commission rate. Rather, they fight to earn the commission by way of doing a agent’s occupation. In completing this task, they devote their money plus time to perform, as best they might, the assignments of an representative. Those tasks include displaying the home through marketing, introducing the home to prospective buyers, constructing a sense of buyer emergency in order to make prompt an offer, scheduling home inspections, dealing with qualification assessments with the bank, supervising maintenance, and assisting the closing of the deal.
