Welcome to the 2008 UF in Curitiba blogspot! The images above are the five universities represented in this year's study abroad class. In this section you will find information pertaining to the six weeks spent in Brazil by the University of Florida in Curitiba study abroad program. It contains schedules, essays and links to pictures and personal blog sites of this year's participants. It will be especially of interest to anyone considering the University of Florida's Urban and Regional Planning studying abroad program in Curitiba, Parana, Brazil (http://www.dcp.ufl.edu/urp ), as well to anyone with a general interest in Brazil. Once admitted to the program, you will be invited to join the Facebook group which contains more detailed information with contacts and anecdotal information which will be useful for your study abroad experience.
We are UF URP'ers, who are on an adventure of our lives. We come from various campuses across the United States, and have converged in Curitiba under the auspices of the University of Florida to marvel at its planning value, and broaden our horizons.
