Studying Abroad
Studying abroad can be such a fun experience. I studied abroad a few years ago and had a great time overall. I went to Spain and lived with a family that treated us well for the most part. The only thing was that they served us green eggs and ham, stuffed us into a small room that barely had enough space for an AirClimber, and they never turned the air conditioning on even though it was over ninety degrees outside.
So I am not trying to discourage anyone from studying abroad, but make sure that you do your homework and pick a reputable program to study abroad with. Also try and go with someone you know and trust just to make sure that you are safe.
