Any one have any general advice for studying abroad?

<p>My d’s prep school prides itself on it international program…but starting about two years ago, the students vanished. Students are finding that they need AP and advanced courses in Junior year to be ready for subject and AP test. College app / test prerequisites trumped international. </p>

<p>A semester abroad sound like fun, but not at the expense of the college that you get into.</p>
