| Thanks for directing me to Swarthmore's advice! That page proved really helpful.
I'm still deciding on countries. Right now, I think I want non-English speaking, but at the same time that's a problem, because I only know a little Spanish and that's about it.
Major problems are also an issue, as I'm not sure if I want to change my major. With my current one, I can basically take a semester off and still graduate on time, but if I do decide to change it (and I'm not sure what I'd change it to yet), that could be an issue. However, most of the programs my school offers have a variety of classes you can take. (And I'm definitely going with an approved program from my school, as I want my scholarship to apply).
I do want at least some of the immersion, though I don't want it to be more than I can handle. So I've already decided I don't think I'm going to go on a group study abroad, where you go with a group of students and professors from my school.
There's a Study abroad fair on Tuesday, so any additional advice on questions to ask or whatever would be wonderful! |
