Preparing to Go
Study Abroad Information – What You Need to Know
Once you make the decision to study abroad, the feelings of ecstasy and excitement can quickly give way to panic and fear. Figuring out how to prepare for going abroad takes a lot of research, and can be hard to fully understand if you are researching by yourself. If you’re looking for a concise Study Abroad 101 guide that outlines the pertinent study abroad information you’ll need to start planning your experience, you’ve found the right place.
Our guide includes:
- Practical information for parents
- Ways of financing your experience
- Who to talk to for answering study abroad questions
We’ve even compiled a quick reference guide for your parents. Knowing how to finance your study abroad experience is one of the most important things you need to figure out before living abroad. Can you pay for it all by yourself? Will your loans you have for your typical semester cover your costs when you’re abroad? Our Finance section can help answer all these questions and more.
The Who to Talk to Section discusses the people, both who work at your university and friends who have already been abroad, whom you should talk to about going abroad. These people can give you help and information on all the questions you have, from what to pack for travel to how to make friends abroad.
The Parent Resources section helps to easy your parents into accepting your study abroad adventure. Many times this will be the first time a student will be in another country, much less in another country without their parents! They might be lame, but parents care a lot about you, and want to make sure you’re safe! This section puts them at ease and gives them all the valuable information they need.
