Many college students, no matter what
year they’re in, have thought about studying abroad for a semester. However, most incoming students don’t know much about studying abroad, all the options available with this special experience or what they can gain from the experience.
Studying abroad often times involves trekking halfway across
the world to embark on one of the
most surreal experiences any college student might get to do. Whether study abroad sophomore year or junior year, in fall or
spring semester, or choose from a typical study abroad program, a work abroad
program or a volunteer abroad program, there are things you need to know
beforehand and things to keep in mind while abroad. This chapter guides you through how to apply and discusses the many places you can go within the different types of programs so you'll make the most of your time abroad.
