GETTING THE MOST FROM STUDY ABROAD
Student-written advice on meeting the challenges of international study
Each year, more than 200,000 students from colleges and universities in the U.S. spend a semester or a full year studying abroad. Study abroad is an exciting learning experience, but one that is challenging.
Written and reviewed by current college students and recent graduates, GETTING THE MOST FROM STUDY ABROAD by Michael Gallant offers students realistic suggestions to help them get the most out of their study abroad experience from deciding where and when to go, choosing the best housing option, and dealing with culture shock to immersing fully in the new culture, curing homesickness, and softening the blow of reverse culture shock. Honest and revealing, this guide helps students face and conquer the challenges of study abroad. Entertaining and informative quotes from students who have studied overseas combine with advice from study abroad counselors to give students a clear understanding of what to expect from the international study experience.
GETTING THE MOST FROM STUDY ABROAD is part of the Students Helping Students™ series of guides for high school and college students. Each Students Helping Students™ guide is written and edited exclusively by current college students and recent graduates, and contains only the most relevant and helpful advice.
Michael Gallant is a student at Columbia University. He lives in Washington, DC.
