MY ATENEO JTA EXPERIENCE
Bonjour!
I'm Kat, a student who's going to Groupe ESC Dijon Bourgogne - Burgundy School of Business in Dijon, France this Fall 2012 through the Ateneo de Manila University's Junior Term Abroad program. Follow here for words on travel, bucket lists, hopes, journeys to a blaze burning in the horizon and the ramblings of an over-excited woman.

Je m'appelle Kat, je suis Chinois et Philippine, et je suis une étudiante va étudier à Groupe ESC Dijon Bourgogne à l'automne 2012. Je ne parle pas très bien française mais je suis d'apprentissage. Je suis très excité. :) À bientôt!

Feel free to ask questions! :)

I seem to vaguely remember this place as a cluster of shop in the Champs-Élysées area.
I may be wrong though. Still, très belle. What a charm. :) -
Lonely Planet
Another travel site I just love to look at, this one’s got great lists and interesting facts about every destination you could think of. You can also book tickets and group tours and stuff. :)

Fodors
This is simply one of the best websites for people looking to travel the world. It’s got Top 10 lists, itineraries, times to destinations, and so many other useful information. It’s great fun to look at. :)

Q: Do SOSE courses also offer JTA?
A:
Hello! I’m not sure about this one, so you may have to inquire. But I hear that most courses in SOSE are too strenuous to be moved around and crammed into smaller schedules. I’m sure, for example, that all the Health Science majors have no JTA options. There are other ways you can go abroad in partnership with the school, though. :)

Q: HI! :D Is there JTA for comm students and is there a partner school in Czech?? ...aaannd how, when and where should I apply for minors (sorry if this is not JTA related, I don't know who to ask). I'm really interested in taking German studies as a minor. Thank you so so so much! :)

Hello! :)
It’s cool! For JTA, there is a JTA for students of SOSS but the schools that you can go to are very limited. Most of the people who went this year are from AB Political Science and are going to French schools. There is a school in Prague, however I’m not sure that’s open for SOSS. :) You’ll have to check your SOSS department board frequently so you don’t miss the announcement, too. There are German schools as well, but as I said earlier I’m only really sure it’s available for SOM. For your Minor, you should go to the department of the course you want to take to inquire. For German Studies, it’s the Modern Languages department in Dela Costa. Go there and inquire and they’ll tell you the steps. :)

10 Weeks before JTA Sem Ends
So it’s actually quite early on, but I feel already like my head is exploding. This is probably due to the two law classes I have, Labor on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and Sales and Negotiable Instruments on Mondays and Wednesdays. Both give a lot of reading requirements and daily quizzes. I can’t imagine what will happen when the Marketing requirements get on full swing, the Finance long tests come up and the Philosophy readings get thicker and thicker.
Meanwhile, my mind calibrates the slippery slope downhill that my QPI will probably wander into, rolling around the steep fall like an egg about to crack at any minute.
C’est la vie. Il peut être difficile. Nous devons persévérer.
