Going as a tourist to a foreign city or country
for a short period of time can be fun, but living and studying
there for longer than a few months is a completely different

with some physical, mental, and social challenges. Even though
living in a foreign country can sometimes be frustrating,
it can also be very rewarding. The majority of people who

of time go home feeling positive about their experience and
believe that the time spent abroad was beneficial both academically
and personally. The information below may help ease your transition.
