Thinking of studying abroad? Read this!

4/10/2016

 
While study abroad is one of the most sought after experiences in college, many students squander the experience and take on extra debt. Some mistakes include taking advantage of the lower drinking age overseas and spending too much money on drinks and wasting time being drunk and hungover.  Students also need to consider the effects of being too reliant on their smartphones when traveling.  This can disconnect them from their experiences and make them too concerned with that is happening at home instead of what is happening on their trip. They need to be present and available for all that their study abroad program has to offer. If you know of a student thinking about or on their way to a study abroad program, share this article  from the New York Times with them!
