the majority of people i know (if not all) who have studied abroad, loved it! it’s not hard at all, and the requirements are not difficult. like someone mentioned, you don’t have to be in a club to do this, but you do meet many people.

what are you interested in? i have friends who are in pre-dental society, and they have traveled to mexico, australia, and many other places, volunteering and getting some hands on experience. the club selects people for these missions. i’m sure there are other service clubs that offer traveling experiences similar to this.

for finding clubs, that website above is good, you can contact someone for more info — or you could also just walk up and down library walk (long strip in front of the library) during your first week here and there will be many people passing out flyers with more info— clubs, orgs, frats, sororities…all trying in hopes of recruiting you.

a lot of free events such as bbqs, other food related stuff, parties, etc can make the first week really fun. don’t waste your meal points your first week, just go to the free events in your college. hehehe
