The study abraod office is located on the 3rd floor in the Maxwell Library on the Bridgewater State University campus. They hold informational meetings and walk in hours twice a week. You can go in and talk one on one with a professional directly about your future studies and they will assist you as soon as possible to get you started on your educational endeavers. You can either live with a host family or stay at your University of interest. You must apply to the school you are planning on attending but also apply at the study abraod office here to show your desire to travel. They always try and accept everyone who has an interest because they want you to fulfill your dreams of immersing yourself into new cultures. They will put in the effort to assist you in getting that once in a lifetime experience.
I have many questions about the study abraod program here at BSU because I am planning on studying abroad next spring and would like to be well informed and prepared. How can they help you decide what the perfect place for you to spend your semester is? What is the first step to take if you are planning on spending a semester over seas? How long is the process and how early can you start? How do the credits transfer? These are the questions I can think of off the top of my head but I know there will be more to come when I actually get started in my observations. I can't wait to learn more about it.
Shaelyn,
ReplyDeleteI think you did a very good job focusing on the most important areas that the study abroad office will provide assistance with. Seems to me that you are very interested in traveling and if so, I'm sure you will adapt wonderfully to whichever culture you choose to be apart of. It also appears that you are very knowledgeable of the study abroad office already which is think will be great to compare with what you find in the field of researching. You seem to be asking all the right questions and I believe it will be very helpful to you as you uncover the answers. Good luck!
