Take things at your own pace. It’s going to be an eye-opening experience and a wonderful life-long memory.

You won’t regret study abroad, I promise you won’t miss out on anything back at USC. Everyone says get outside your comfort zone, but I’ll advise you to just say yes as much as possible.
Eduard Ghazaryan – London, UK
Go to your program with an open mind without having too many expectations. Go with an exploratory mindset and try everything that comes your way.
Irith Katiyar – Brighton, UK
Get out of your comfort zone and stay there: being in a foreign environment will feel uncomfortable—but that’s okay! Keep trying new things, ask other exchange students questions about their daily lives back home, and let yourself be a bit more spontaneous with your time.
Manuel Robles – Brighton, UK
Going abroad is a time period where you can be yourself and have a bit of freedom to choose what you want to gain from the experience. Most of the learning abroad is done outside the classroom: talking with the locals, trying new foods, traveling to new places, making new friends, learning how to be a bit more independent, etc. The most important thing to remember is to be patient with yourself and live in the moment!
