The Expo is a great place to find out about opportunities you have to participate in education abroad. However, the Expo can also be overwhelming if you've never been before.
Taking these steps prior to the Expo will help you make the most of your time exploring all the exhibits at the Expo.
Remember not to limit your options by only looking at programs in your major or college. You can take elective credit, integrative studies, internships and more! You can also add a specialization or work on a second major.
Academics: What coursework do you want to take abroad? Have you thought about research or an internship abroad?
Language: Do you want to develop your foreign language skills or maybe learn a new language?
Timing: How long do you want to be abroad?
Host culture: Do you want to attend class with students from the host culture or live with a host family?
Finances: What is your budget for going abroad?
Strike up a conversation with program directors or former participants who are staffing the tables - they want to talk to you and get you excited about their program.
Don't forget to ask questions about funding opportunities, academic fit, travel logistics, and more from representatives.
