i dont want to merely vacation somewhere, but really be fully immerse in their culture. I guess i could just apply to a school abroad, but how would that look to future employers (because, of course, i'm only going to school for a bigger paycheck)?
anyone done this or know of anyone who has?

I don't know of too many non-research based grad programs that will sponsor major time abroad. The requirements of those programs are so stringent that it's probably next to impossible to go abroad for anything more than a vacation. My program sponsors summer internships abroad, and pays for us to go anywhere in the world as long as we'll be doing something architectural in nature (hence an air ticket to Thailand sitting on my desk).
I do know people who were in business school who went on smallish trips (2-3 weeks) sponsored by their school, to see how international business standards differ from our own. The best MBA programs (Harvard, Columbia, Stanford)
might have some sort of exchange with LSE...but, those are limited to the best of the best.
