Talk to me about: Feel free to talk to me about any questions, both big and small, you may have about the study abroad process. During the whole study abroad process, I remember having a hard time finding more in depth information on topics such as dorming, class registration, applying for an ARC, and so on. To make the study abroad process smoother for you, I am happy to answer any questions you may have. In addition, if you are on the fence about studying abroad and want to process your thoughts with someone, feel free to reach out to me as well.

Advice: The decision to study abroad is not easy; however, I do strongly encourage you to apply. Even a week before departing, I was doubting my decision to study abroad at first because I felt that I was leaving so many things behind such as my academic pursuits and friendships. However, I am so glad I went because I learned so much about myself and made some unforgettable memories and friends. It is definitely normal to feel fearful about living in a foreign country for so long or feel like you’re interrupting future plans, but I can say with confidence that the experiences and relationships you cultivate are much more worthwhile. If I could do it all over again, I would extend my stay because time flew by too fast.
