studying abroad!

<p>anyone here who studied abroad in germany or china? Please tell me your experiences. </p>

<p>and can anyone please advise me where I should begin if i want to study abroad?</p>

<p>the one thing I can tell you (I went to rome for global seminars, so i cant help you there). But before you can do any applications or get any materials for what you need done, you have to schedule an appt to do a “First Steps” session with the study abroad office. They are daily in the international center and you have to sign up here:</p>

<p>oh so what is the appointment about ? is it just to advise and to guide me through studying abroad program? is there a charge ?</p>

<p>Is there a way to see/calculate how much we can financial aid?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>
