    I'm starting my studies in England this fall. I'll be moving there in less than a month and I'm so excited. :)


    I'm sure studying abroad will be an awesome experience. Good luck to you!

    http://www.usexperiment.org was an organization that I used the first time I went overseas in 1976. I lived with a family in Austria for 6 weeks and toured the country for 10 days. The experience was so moving and motivating that I decided to study abroad near that city for a year in college.

    I was living in New York and I looked at all the colleges and universities that had a study abroad program. I wound up going through SUNY-Binghamton. Once you know where you want to go, it's best to do some pricing. It's much easier and safer to have the paperwork done through the American college itself, although it is probably not impossible to get the paperwork done through a foreign university. An American university will set up dorm life, banking, phone contacts, etc. It saves a lot of hassle.

    I whole heartedly recommend it :)
