But it's not all as daunting as it may seem. This section is designed to answer your questions and offer advice as you prepare for the adventure of a lifetime. And if you're still stuck, there's always our Guide to Study Abroad--the most comprehensive resource for all those tricky details.

Just like the rest of your life, your study abroad trip is going to have its ups and downs. You'll be soaking in cultural sights and improving your language skills one minute, but maybe feeling a little homesick the next. It's all a part of the adventure that is study abroad.

And that's why communication is key. If you have an emergency while abroad, tell the necessary people about it. If you need some tips on maximizing your experience, we'd love to share some with you.
