One of the most down-to-earth, practical, useful, and economic guides on the market today. This book is packed with information and is very easy to use and navigate. Read it straight through or find answers to your questions quickly and with ease. Williamson speaks directly to today's college student in a serious, but fun-loving and humerous way. You'll love this book! If you buy just one book on study abroad, this should be it. Don't study abroad without it. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Resource, December 28, 2006
This review is from: Study Abroad 101 (Paperback)
I found this book to be an excellent resource that is easy to use. When I had questions about getting a passport, I could very quickly find answers. When I was thinking about packing and what to bring (and not to bring), I just turned to the section on packing. When I was wondering how culture shock would impact me and what it was all about, I opened the section on culture shock. Its not text heavy, nor is it boring. It provides real, concise information that is presented in a fun way with stories that the author has from her experiences with traveling abroad. I highly recommend this book because I've read other books and this one just doesn't compare... its more than a book you read once; its a tool you'll use throughout your entire experience.

This review is from: Study Abroad 101 (Paperback)
Sudy Abroad 101 is great for anyone, but especially for high School and college students. Wendy Williamson covers all aspects of preparing and planning a trip abroad. She combines her own Peace Corps experience and her professional expertise as a study abroad advisor to provide useful information that is an adventure in itself.
