Q & A: Study Abroad from one Student to Another

Amy is a sophomore in college. She's interested in studying abroad. We posed her questions to Greg, a senior in college. He studied abroad last semester in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and he responded to Amy's questions based on his experiences and knowledge.

Amy: I'm interested in studying abroad. How early do I have to start looking into it and how do I start?

Greg: Most students who are interested in studying abroad have an idea that they want to do it as their entering college. But some decide later too. If your a sophomore, now is the time to decide definitely if you want to do it or not. Some schools require you to take a preparation course before you leave for your country, so you have to get registered and take that class. Those students have to prepare almost a year in advance. Other schools allow you to decide the semester before, if you get started early enough that is. There are submission deadlines for paperwork to your program. So go to your school's study abroad office and talk with the study abroad coordinator. They'll most likely give you some pamphlets or catalogs to look through programs and destinations. Hopefully, this information helps you decide where you want to go. You can also check out program websites online.

Amy: My parents aren't that excited about me going abroad? How can I convince them?

Greg: Yeah, that's a tough thing. I guess the best thing to do is to assure them you'll be safe. Show them your program's website and find the page with the safety policies and precautions. You want them to know that it's legitimate. They could even call the program's offices and speak with someone there, or talk with your college's coordinator. Also, it could be the destination that they're concerned with, so you may have to be flexible in order to have them agree and feel comfortable. Negotiation is essential. The other issue could be money. But, there are ways to save money abroad, and some programs are cheaper than others. If your at a private school, some programs could even be cheaper than your tuition now.

Amy: Say I'm accepted by a program, and am definitely going? How do I prepare then?

Greg: Well, pack your bags and prepare mentally I guess. I think the most important thing is to keep an open mind. You're going to be experiencing so many new things at once. Try not to judge a situation or custom as good or bad or weird, but just think of it as different. Stay observant and discuss your experiences with friends. That's one of the best parts! It's really an amazing experience to live and study in another country. Remember, you do have to study though. haha.
