- Wherever you decide to study abroad, you’ll be able to:
- Explore your specific interests in an authentic environment
- Connect with the local community and learn from locals
- Learn both inside and outside the classroom 24/7

- Consider what subjects or languages you’d like to study the most. Is there a language you’d like to learn? Does the program offer courses that are appealing to you?
- Set a budget. Beyond program costs, can you afford living in your desired location? Have you considered more budget-friendly countries?
