should i study abroad?

Lou Ravelo: I think you should study more than 1 broad!! No seriously, are you ever going to get another chance to study or even go to another place to study? Take the chance!!!

Fermin Tara: Its completely normal to freak out a little over going abroad. You're talking about exposing yourself to something completely new and different so its understandable to be nervous. You can combat this by being prepared. Read blogs of other people studying abroad, read up on where you're going, and talk to your family and friends about it who can support you along the way.With that being said I think you should do it. You have the opportunity and its only for four months which is actually not very long, so you can definitely handle it.Of course, I also want to be realistic and say that while its an amazing experience its not always meant for everything. After studying abroad for a year I have definitely seem the whole spectrum from people who don't want to leave and actually do ! come back after graduating to people who just miss their home and family so much that the experience is no longer worth it and they go home early. Its really most of the times to predict what kind of predicament you'll find yourself in but it just depends on how prepared you are and what kind of attitude you have about it.Also, Skype is every study abroad students best friend. I talk to my parents at least once a week that way and even have Skype credit so I can call my friends phones or get in contact with my parents in an emergency.But know that what kind of experience you have is all up to you. Only do it if you really think it would benefit you and that you can handle it. If not, then maybe volunteering for a shorter period of time would be better suited for you.To check out my ups and downs while studying abroad you can check out my blog: www.aventurasenuruguay.blogspot.com ....Show more

Ruby Martis: definately go. you might miss your family and bf at first, but ! youll get used to it and you can always call them. take every ! opportunity you can. you won't regret going. youll meet new people, learn about a different country, and you would enjoy the american lifestyle.

Sammy Tabatt: Definitely go. I studied abroad, and it was the best experience of my life. You never want to look back and be regretful that you didn't go through with it. Your family and bf will be there when you get back. Trust me...you'll be regret it forever if you don't go but you'll be talking about it for the rest of your life if you do!
