It really depends on the (home) college and the program that they have. My oldest is at BU, and they differentiated between colleges abroad where they have programs and oversight in place and where they don’t. For the ones BU has arrangements with, it’s fairly easy to have housing, register for classes, etc., and there’s a member of the BU faculty who lives there to facilitate the semester abroad. I don’t know what students do if they choose to go the other route.

My D’s an Education major, and BU is the only school she found that actually let you student teach abroad. That sealed the deal for her.
