Studying abroad was the best decision I made while in college. It opened my eyes to a different culture and experiences, I met some amazing people, and I got to travel more in that 9 months than at any other time in my life combined. Although you will get a packet of logistical information from your study abroad program about visa requirements, registration, and other legal necessities for participation in the host country, below are some tips so you can really get the most out of your study abroad experience.
1. Read Up. Read up about your study abroad destination. Try and read the local newspaper and familiarize yourself with the general state of affairs in the country and city you will be visiting. Pick up a travel book, like a Lonely Planet, to get to know the major monuments, transportation, local sites, as well as the good and bad areas of town. Read RateYourStudyAbroad.com’s reviews of your program and other programs in the area, as well as other blogs devoted to the student experience abroad. Check out Glimpse.org, abroadview.org, and transitionsabroad.com for first hand accounts of student expats and their experiences while abroad. Not only will you be able to converse with the locals better, enhance your own experience with insight into the cultural quirks of your country, but you will be more in the know compared to your other study abroad participants.
