Spend Your Summer Months in a Study Abroad Program

By Anne Harvester

During my four years of college, I experienced a great number of highs and lows. Among those highs, my time abroad in New Zealand might be the most unforgettable. While I only spent one semester abroad, the memories and education I took home will last a lifetime. I recommend any college student to study abroad in New Zealand if they get the same chance.

Spending time or studying time in New Zealand or another destination such as a program abroad in Sydney Australia can be one of the most enriching aspects of not only your college years but also your entire life. Not only do you earn academic credit, you broaden your cultural perspectives, gain some independence from what you know, experience a new culture, and live through stories you can tell for a lifetime. This is all possible from being abroad Sydney Australia or New Zealand.

Finding a program in college which takes you to New Zealand overseas isn't too difficult. The majority of universities in the U.S. house a study abroad coordinator who can advise you about all of their different programs offered through their network of program providers. You will need to register for study abroad New Zealand through the school you attend in the U.S. This way credits and any other important details transfer seamlessly.

Spending time abroad in Sydney Australia or New Zealand is a dream of many students. Think of what a wonderful experience it would be to spend a summer in New Zealand overseas, far from home in such a wonderful place. I can't imagine a more fun and exciting learning experience. You'll have so many exciting stories and memories to tell. Here are some steps to get started:

Go online or visit study abroad office in your college. The majority of universities and schools have a set of minimum requirements you would need to meet before becoming eligible to study abroad in Sydney Australia or New Zealand.

Put together a budget for yourself. Think about what your expenses will be and calculate the cost of living in this new country. Look into the costs outlined by your program provider and determine how much aid and scholarships you currently have which will travel to pay for the program and how much you are expected to cover yourself during your time abroad Sydney Australia.

Fill out and complete the application, submit transcripts and other application materials for an abroad in Sydney Australia experience. You'll probably have to write a personal statement to explain why you are interested in this particular region of the world. Your goal is to show everyone how much you desire to succeed in their abroad New Zealand program.

Research your options thoroughly. While it is an amazing opportunity, it is also quite an important one. There are hundreds of different programs throughout the world. Think about what experience would fit your best and which issues will help you narrow down your abroad choices.
