Study Abroaders! This site is for you! Through the survey of past university students who went abroad in long-term programs and my own experiences engaging with students from other cultures, this is a compilation of the resources students say they wish they had while studying abroad. Made for and by students, this website is designed to help you navigate the challenges and questions that go along with studying abroad

How to navigate this site

This home page consists of two different ways to navigate through the different pages and activities this site holds. The first is a timeline of chronological activities and the second is a list of feelings you might be experiencing and activities to help you process them. You can also use the sidebar at the top left corner to explore different pages. 

 Anytime that you see this purple text, it is a quote from a past student who has studied abroad detailing their experience or a resource they wish they had sooner!
