Wants to Study Abroad
Choose
TraveLingua!
Every year, thousands
of students choose to
study abroad for the
summer- whether
it's for six months, a
year, or even longer.
Many people find the
experience of studying
abroad very exciting,
but also very scary. Let
TraveLingua give you
some advice.
Why do it?
Living in another country will help you learn a language and learn about another. You will see
the world in a new way and learn more about yourself. Studying abroad is also training for the
working world. Many companies want employees who speak a second language or who have experienced
living or working in another country.
Making the right choice
To choose the right country or school, ask yourself these questions: For how long do I want to study
abroad? Do I want to live with a host family,1 with roommates, or alone? How much can I afford to pay?
If you aren't sure how to answer these questions, our experienced staff can help!
Getting ready to go
Based on our experience, it's best to get your passport and visa2 early! Before you go, learn as much of
the language as you can and read about the customs of your host country. Also, talk with people who
have experience studying abroad. And call the school to make sure someone can meet you when you -
get there. Make sure to bring some local money and a credit card.
Once you are there
Be curious and open to meeting new people and having new experiences. Don't expect to always be
comfortable. After the first few weeks it's usual to feel a little homesick.3 You'll miss your family and
friends. Remember that it takes time to get used to a new place with new customs. Talk to your new friends
and write about your feelings. Try to keep in touch with the people back home.
TraveLingua helps you get started on you,r.,journey by doing all this, and more. Choose us as your travel partner, and we'll be sure to get you where you want to go!
