Today’s Video: Canisius Promo

I just can’t get enough of these promotional videos that colleges and universities put together for their study abroad programs. With cameras and editing technology cheap (heck, even I can do it...), there's really no reason for any institution to not have a study abroad promo video to have on its Web site or available for students in DVD form.

Today’s video is from Canisius College in Buffalo, N.Y., which rightly brags about its collaborations with universities around the world. But the video goes beyond the sales job and explains that study abroad is an experience with its financial, education — and emotional — ups and downs. It’s a video that speaks to some of the greatest fears of students who are on the fence about whether to get a passport and go.
