5.0 out of 5 stars International Student Volunteer Participant, February 28, 2005
By 
This review is from: Study Abroad, Travel & Vacation in College (Paperback)
The information in this book has definitely made me reconsider my once-forgotten dream of studying abroad. I have always been an enthusiastic traveler, and the examples of the great variety of study abroad options excited me even further. On top of that, I really had no idea that my financial aid could help cover tuition and expenses. Now the question is...where do I want to go?

Sarah Pollo (Sacramento, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Study Abroad, Travel & Vacation in College (Paperback)
"Study Abroad, Travel & Vacation in College" gave me the information that I needed to travel overseas and get credit for the adventure. There are thousands of study abroad opportunities in countries all over the world that the author shows you how to research and access. This book features many different tools for guiding students through an overseas educational experience. The first chapter discusses how to define objectives and establish goals for studying outside the country. The seven other chapters involve resources from researching international programs, facts on program costs, trip preparation tools, tips on how to spend time in a foreign country and a discussion on how to adjust to the return home. The book was simple and showed me what to do every step of the way, so I didn't feel overwhelmed at the prospect of participating in an overseas learning adventure.
