UGA Student Forgoes Spring Break Plans to Save Money for Study Abroad

            University spring break is a time of year so infamous for partying by the beach that it has inspired multiple films, country music albums, and television specials.

            However, for University of Georgia sophomore Public Relations and Political Science student Hannah Bause, the week-long reprieve from classes is a chance for her to save money and visit friends.

 

            “I’m studying abroad in Cannes this summer, so I need to stay home and save money,” Bause said Monday morning in the UGA Zell B. Miller Learning Center.

            She was recently accepted to Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication’s Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity study abroad program.

            Bause is entertaining the idea of visiting a friend at Georgia Southern University in Statesboro, Ga., but is likely going to spend most of spring break with her family in Griffin, Ga.
