Plan your FUTURE self
i still have so many questions right now how long will I be away?
First day as:
The Newbie CHAOTIC CHILL
You choose. Programs range from three weeks to an academic year.
what if there are no classes in my major?
There most likely are. People often think study abroad is just about learning a foreign language. While that can be part of it, there are courses across STEM fields, business, communications and media, education, health sciences, humanities, social sciences, and more!
speaking of that what if I don’t know the language of the country I want to study in?
For most programs, you don’t have to speak a foreign language. Not even a little bit. But if learning a second (or third or fourth) language is your goal, you can sometimes learn the equivalent of two years of language learning in one semester. Bonus: That gets you even closer to graduation.
won’t I be lonely?
An understandable concern. And to be honest, maybe a little at first. It’s a transition. But we’ll connect you with your community through homestays, field trips, internships, tours, service learning, volunteering, campus clubs and events, and other opportunities. Lifelong friendships are forged all the time through study abroad. It’ll be okay.
