Customer Reviews

Great Reference for My Junior Year!

As a confused sophomore who is planning to go to some place in Western Europe next fall (and because I have to start planning for it NOW), this book was really the perfect starting point, so I'm totally glad my mother bought it for me this semester. It's not overwhelming in length, it breaks down all the necessary information, and the quotes from students throughout the book ease the stress I've been feeling and have allowed me to approach my decision in a smarter way.

Ready to go!!!

I was a bit skeptical of this book's length, but now that I've read it, I can honestly say it's the best book that I've read on the subject. It goes through all of the steps of choosing your country, getting ready, dealing with culture shock, and having fun. And the advice from other students who've been abroad was great! When I go abroad to Italy next semester, I really feel prepared. I definitely recommend this book to any student going abroad!

Perfect for College Kids

If you have college aged sons or daughters, give them this book. It has everything they'll need to make the right decision about living and studying in another country. Michael Gallant's advice is clear, practical and down to earth and he never sugercoats the facts. He shares his love of travel and shows that study abroad can be an amazing, life changing opportunity.
