  Colleges are probably better than they've ever been at handling overseas emergencies and issues, said Patrick Quade, interim director of international education at Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter.Quade is the retired director of such programs at the St. Olaf College, which sends more students abroad to study than any four-year undergraduate college in the country.
  
  He tells parents that in campus-managed overseas programs, students are usually safer than they would be in a major American city.The biggest single threat to students abroad is their use of alcohol, he said.Another one is what he calls "their Americanness."Leave the provocative T-shirts at home, he said.
  ...
  Quade said no to a couple of proposed trips, including one from a student who wanted to climb mountains but had little experience doing so.
  
  But a trip by a girl who wanted to go to a South African nature reserve to work with chimpanzees was approved.She was required to specify her exact destination, have a 24-hour emergency contact, have a medical program and housing, and find someone who agreed in writing to look out for her while she was there.

  "Students are becoming more aware of a larger world, and the old notion of the junior year in Paris is finally out of this generation's memory," says Patrick Quade, interim director of International Education at Gustavus."This generation is far more interested in locations and destinations that give them a glimpse of a culture they're not accustomed to."
  
  At look at statistics from the Institution for International Education, Quade says, shows a shift to non-western destinations that started about 10 years ago and has kept growing.

  In 2003, two students, one of them from Carleton College in Northfield, Minn., drowned after they went wading in a Puerto Rican stream and apparently were pulled under by the current.Colleges are probably better than they've ever been at handling overseas emergencies and issues, said Patrick Quade, interim director of international education at Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter, Minn. Quade is the retired director of such programs at the St. Olaf College, which sends more students abroad to study than any four-year undergraduate college in the country.He tells parents that in campus-managed overseas programs, students are usually safer than they would be in a major American city.The biggest single threat to students abroad is their use of alcohol, he said.Another one is what he calls "their Americanness."Leave the provocative T-shirts at home, he said.Respect the culture and immerse yourself in it.Don't think you can change the other country, and don't try.Listen.Programs where students go off by themselves are tougher, he said.Roughly 250 Gustavus students went abroad during January break, about 23 of those in programs where they'd be independent.Quade said no to a couple of proposed trips, including one from a student who wanted to climb mountains but had little experience doing so.But a trip by a girl who wanted to go to a South African nature reserve to work with chimpanzees was approved.She was required to specify her exact destination, have a 24-hour emergency contact, have a medical program and housing, and find someone who agreed in writing to look out for her while she was there.

  Patrick Quade, director of international education at Gustavus, said prices for European locations are up.
  
  "We have a program in Germany that gives us prices in euros," Quade said."Programs have gone up 800 euros per student ... We're warning students that when they get to their site, their discretionary spending will be more expensive than they thought."
  
  Quade said one way they're able to at least know ahead of time what the costs will be is by booking trips nearly a year in advance.
  
  Students at Gustavus must commit to their study abroad plans 10 months prior to the J-term during which they'd like to study abroad.
  
  "Right now, in terms of our J-term trips, we had to do cost estimates nine months ago," Quade said.

I'm working now on August and September programs for next year and trying to lock into costs for airline tickets."Even though the dollar has continued to weaken since they booked those trips, Quade said they haven't had to make any adjustments to costs.But they haven't escaped rising costs entirely."We were hit more with fuel surcharges," he said."We have to do the best we can with currency exchange rates and hopefully get the best price from airlines."Quade said the surcharges were manageable this year because they built in a contingency.
