The Journey Begins!

The Journey Begins!
Hey guys,
It’s a pretty dreary day in June and I thought that it would be the perfect time to begin chronicling my time leading up to my departure to Salamanca, Spain!
It’s been a long process, with making sure that all of the correct paperwork was submitted and all the deadlines were met, but so far so good.
So, because I would like to provide as much help as possible to those who are in, or who will be in, or just thinking about being in, a similar situation as myself, I just wanted to leave you guys with a few tips that might help:
  • For starters, do lots of research on where you would like to go.
  • Once you have chosen the location, think about when you would like to go and what works best with your schedule.
  • After you have finally chosen the location and time, start the paperwork:
  • (Recommendations, passport, visa (depending on location and length of stay), so make sure to apply for those a few months ahead of schedule. And of course you’ll need to get a plane ticket. So far, I’ve been looking at websites such as www.aa.com and www.studentuniverse.com, with the latter providing the much better costs).
  • Think about how you will pay for it. Sometimes financial aid will cover a big chunk of the cost, but taking out a loan, finding scholarships, and jobs can be lifesavers. So just go with what works best!
  • My final piece of advice for now is, don’t hesitate! If you have always wanted to go abroad, but have been too afraid to do so, just try to let your inhibitions go. Everyone that I have spoken to who has studied abroad has never regretted it, I have only heard regret from those who didn’t.
Hope this helps!
