Student Experiences

Regardless of where you intend to study abroad, you can't always get to the starting or ending point at the same time as everyone else.

So firstly, I think it's important that whoever reading this knows that prior to my study abroad trip I had never flown on an airplane before - let alone travel outside the country.

As someone who works in USA's Office of International Education, my goal is to promote studying abroad to anyone that will listen. This means that I'm often highlighting how wonderful and transformative the experience is, but in this blog post, I'd like to talk about some of my regrets that I think about when I reflect on my first time abroad.
