How Do I Find The Study Abroad Program That’s Right For Me?
Find out if you have a study-abroad adviser on your campus, and if you do, start there!
Your first consultation should be with your campus study-abroad adviser. Some colleges may have a designated faculty member or administrator who performs this function. Other colleges have full-scale study abroad offices with various advisers specializing in regional destinations. Chances are your university has the best programs for you. By going on a study-abroad program developed at your school, you are more likely to be able to use your financial aid and receive credit for the experience. Your study-abroad adviser is the most experienced international education counselor for your needs; he or she can assess your desires and know the limitations or regulations of your school.
But what if your campus has no study-abroad adviser; or you can’t find just the right program through this person? If your school lets you participate in external programs, then you should perform your own search for the experience that fits all your needs.
