<p>Studying abroad depends on you. You first have to decide the reason why you want to study somewhere else either if you want to learn another language or you want to go to a better school. I´d recommend you to live in a place with a language that you are interested in learning because knowing a second or a third language is very much appreciated not only in colleges but when you start working. My best advice is to have your own apartment because it builds responsibility and independence. If you dont have the chance to live in your own apartment then a host family would be the second best option. Usually you join a plan were you choose a country and they locate a host family for you, which are usually very nice. Living in another country by yourself is an experience you will never forget and will help you build a better character.</p>
