JLpopulation. After class, they decide to “drop in” on India to take a firsthand look at overpopulation. These students are participants in a program called Semester at Sea. They attend classes on a cruise ship, but the world is their classroom. Stu dents spend 100 days circling the globe and visit nine to 10 countries. Julie Speed, a senior biomedical science major who spent last fall on Semester at Sea, said she “learned by doing” while in the program. “You study about something, then you actually see it,” Speed said. "You live it.” Though students take 12 to 15 hours and attend classes every day while at sea, they can explore and trav el countries while at port. Anju Ganeshappa, a senior an thropology major, took the trip last spring. She said she remembers what she learned at port better than what she read in books. “Even though I spent the least amount of time studying from a book that semester,” Ganeshappa said, “I learned the most I ever have in my entire life.” For many classes, students have as signments or field projects to do while in port. These excursions give students an in-depth look at the cultures of the countries they visit. Both Speed and Ganeshappa visited a school for the deaf in Vietnam, which Speed said proved to be a learning ex perience. “It was amazing to me that these kids were so malnour ished. Most of them were mute—they never had visitors,” she said. "They were so excited when we came to visit them. Their faces just glowed when we hugged them.” Ganeshappa’s experiences at the deaf school made her less scared of and intimidated by language barriers. “Children are universal,” Gane shappa said. “You don’t need language with them. You can communicate Ids. Everyo jclence is Todd Henc omen’s Lac Ictice fror Ijhry fields ■ne. For m ■nica at 69 ■sley Found krmal worst ■L Tauber Sti Idit Union).

Ganeshappa said she felt ignorant of things happening in for eign countries before her journey. Now that she has seen so many diverse places, she understands people better. “Semester at Sea gave me a better sense of reality,” Ganeshappa said. "I believe that I am more tolerant of dif ferent people now.” Though the time spent in port vis iting foreign countries is incredible, Semester at Sea stu dents have a good time on the ship as well. When students are not in class or studying, they watch movies, have talent shows, play volley ball, dance or just hang out. Gane- shappa said she nev er ran out of things to do. “Ship life was a complete cultural experience,” she said, “but a complete college experi ence at the same time.” Speed said the passengers on board formed their own culture and community. “It’s like you’re one big family,” she said. “You’re eating with your professors, you’re swimming with your professors, their kids are on Texas A&M Men’s Lacrosse Two home games this weekend!
