I teamed up with two leading experts in study abroad — Dr. Allan E. Goodman, President and CEO of the Institute of International Education (IIE), and Sir Cyril Taylor, Founder and Chairman of the American Institute for Foreign Study (AIFS) — to offer the most comprehensive advice:
- Before you go: Doing the research to choose the right program, figure out the financials and prepare properly for your big adventure abroad
- While abroad: Making the most of your time abroad by adapting to your new home, immersing yourself in the culture and staying safe and healthy
- When you return: Transitioning back to life in the States, networking with like-minded global souls and showcasing your global growth and learning
A Student Guide to Study Abroad arms students with the critical information needed to make one of the most important decisions of a college career.
But the book is not only for students; parents and advisers will benefit from the wealth of information contained in this comprehensive, yet easy-to-read book.
Great reviews so far on Amazon:
