Getting the Most from Study Abroad (Students Helping Students series)

No doubt you've been bombarded with "expert" advice from your parents, professors, and countless advisors. It's time you got advice you can really use - from fellow students who've been where you're headed!

All Students Helping Students guides are written and edited by top students and recent grads from colleges and universities across the U.S. You'll find no condescending advice here - just stuff to help you succeed in tackling you academic, social, and professional challenges!

Written and reviewed by current college students and recent graduates, this guide offers students realistic suggestions to help them get the most out of their study abroad experience from deciding where and when to go, choosing the best housing option, and dealing with culture shock to immersing fully in the new culture, curing homesickness, and softening the blow of reverse culture shock. Honest and revealing, this guide helps students to face and conquer the challenges of study abroad. Entertaining and informative quotes from students who have studied overseas combine with advice from study abroad counselors to give students a clear understanding of what to expect from the international study experience.
