I'm going to be quiet on this as I have a vested interest in the outcome

Do what makes you happy long term but I love all the suggestions that everyone is giving you Hun

Go and talk to the careers advisor at the uni.  It might be that they can arrange for you to do the study externally, or they can have your modules readjusted so you can do the ones that don't require you to be onsite while away and do the ones that require you to be onsite when you get back. 

There is always a way around obstacles, it just takes some creative thinking and problem solving with someone within the university.  It could even be that they get someone to take a video of each site for you that you can use while you are away.

What a bummer! I think I am just about with Annie on this one, though it's a tough one. My guess would be that you will not be the only one caught out like this (probably a lecturer or two as well) and that the University will find they need to be more accommodating than usual as it is their fault not yours. Is there anyone you can talk to who can give you a rough idea of what allowances they can make/take into account at this stage? Somebody further up the Uni ought to be able to make some "if... then... " kind of reassurances at this stage. Hope so!

if i was in that postion i would go!!! a couple of reasons for which i will give

1.  In the long run whats one year? besides i thought uni is split up in two semesters, which means you only lose 6 months (i dont know about architecture but commerce engineering all that is semesters 6 months)

2. If i was in your position and i didnt go i would always regret it down the track. i would feellike i missed out

3. again if i was in your position i would go. first anniversary birthday going to visit a special friend.

4. Last but not least , i would want to accomplish my life goal list since i came so close to doing it!

the decisio of course is yours but you know if you get your degree earlier by not going on this trip then you will be so busy working that who knows when the opportunity arises .

besides i personnally would go for my hubby , because even if he wont say anything, deep down its like taking candy from a baby. well i know i would be upset if  my partner wanted to cancel a trip after we had planned unless it was a life threatening situation of course

good luck with whatever you decide

love annie xxx

aww what a devsion to make its a hard one but only you can decidw xxx

Humm split in two and reglue when convenient!!!   Geeees, there is no easy answer!  You can always catch up but the sacrifice might be a year lost. To not go would mean feeling very down and sorry for yourself if you decide to support your schooling and future dreams.  I would go and be prepared to work like mad to make up the two weeks, once you know who your teacher is you can get their support in the lessons and take stuff with you to do and study.  You can do this!!!!!
