Fall 2012 Travel
We hope that you will enjoy your time here at Harlaxton and that you will enjoy your courses. Travel is one of the many ways for you to get the maximum benefit out of your semester abroad. While you are here we will work hard to make sure that you get as much out of your overseas experience as possible.
For many of you it will be your first time abroad, let alone your first time in Europe; and while it can be an incredibly exciting time, it can also be a time of apprehension and worry. However, by booking a college trip the stress and strains of travelling are taken care of for you.
Listed below is an abbreviated Fall 2012 Semester calendar with travel offerings and other important dates listed.
To make a travel booking, registered users should use the Lion Net portal.
