Knowing my D, an internship in Australia that would extend her stay is not something to be seriously considered at this point. She is already concerned about being away for too long. And more importantly, she just isn’t adventurous enough to deal with all of the issues on her own, especially finding a place to live and living on her own.

Even though she is excited about studying abroad, she also finds it scary. She said that it is less scary knowing that everything will be arranged for her through the program, and that she will live with other Dickinson students.

I’m not ruling an Australian internship out, but it doesn’t really seem relevant to consider as a factor in her decision about whether to study abroad in these two different countries or not.
