So school has been out for a few weeks at this point, and I’m sure the last thing you want to think about is homework. The truth of the matter is, summer is the perfect time to do your study abroad homework. You aren’t stressed or busy with school, and you have all documents (social security card, passport) at your disposal. You can leisurely research destinations and fill out your paperwork. So if you are considering going abroad, consider this your summer homework as assigned by me.
1. Research places to go. Check out the Links section to the right or your school’s study abroad website to get started.
2. Once you have selected a place, check to see if the paperwork is available. For my study abroad trip to Spain with Lehigh University, there was a reduced cost incentive to submitting the application by a certain date.
3. Make sure your passport has not expired. If you don’t have one yet, apply for one as the process can take some time.
4. Toward the end of the summer, set up a meeting with your school’s study abroad office to verify that everything is on track.
