Have you studied abroad during your time in school? Where did you study, how was it adjusting to a different culture, was it hard to get accepted into study abroad programs?
I've not studied abroad, but I've worked abroad in two countries - France and Argentina, where I am currently - as part of my university degree in the UK.
No but I want to do it...studying abroad can be scary but it's so much fun! My sister has studied abroad in Australia last year! She had a blast and found love.
Yes, it's a great experience. You might feel a bit homesick and the culture shock might surprise you but that's only temporary - I got used to it very quickly and it was one of the best experiences I've had!
Yes. I studied in Aix-en-Provence, France for my junior year of undergrad. I highly recommend it if it's feasible. The life skills you learn from adapting to a different culture for a year are invaluable.
I wish I had the opportunity to but with my major they were very strict on which classes you had to take and I couldn't translate that with another country's equivalent classes.
I applied for a yearlong program at King's College London earlier this year and they rejected me
I'm hoping to do a program in Spain during my junior year to increase my Spanish skills but I think I'd only be able to go for a quarter. I'd prefer to go for a year for a more immersive experience but it's taken me too long to decide my major
Yes, it was lovely. I did a dual city program in Paris and London. I studied at the ESCE in Paris and lived in the 15th arr. and I studied at the FIE in London and lived in South Kensington. Adjusting to a different culture wasn't too terrible, although when I arrived in Paris it was like 100 degrees and like nowhere had AC and I wanted to kill myself. Getting accepted into study abroad programs isnt too difficult at most universities, unless your grades are really bad or you have major conduct issues.
PM me if you need any more details or wanna know more.
