When contemplating to study-away, there are many factors you should consider: locale, course offerings, opportunity for travel, learning/perfecting a foreign language, opportunity for cross-cultural experiences, obtaining professional skills.
More specifically, in what country or city would you like to study? How long would your ideal program last (semester, academic year, summer)? When would you like to leave? Is cost a factor? Will you need financial assistance to carry out your plans? Do you already receive or qualify for financial aid at Baldwin-Wallace College? What is your foreign language ability? How well do you adjust to new and challenging situations? Would you prefer studying with other Americans, students of the host country, or a combination of both?
Additionally, what courses or subject areas would you like to study? Would you prefer classes in English or in the host language? Do you have specific degree requirements that must be fulfilled? Have you met with your advisor? What does she/he suggest? Your advisor and other professors may have suggestions about opportunities at specific schools or in specific countries.
These questions are not meant to intimidate you…but instead to help you organize your thoughts, rational, and objectives for studying-away.
