A strong start in your freshman year will be very helpful, but there are programs of study or work abroad for all students. When in doubt, come in and talk to us about requirements for different programs. Housing arrangements vary among the study abroad programs. Some offer a room in a residence hall, or with a host family, others offer a shared apartment. Meals may be provided in a dining hall, or kitchen facilities may be provided so that you can prepare your own meals.
Deadlines vary according to the program.
Generally, for yearlong programs, you should begin to prepare your application a year in advance. For semester programs, a semester ahead of time is usually appropriate. For summer programs, you should begin the application procedure in January.
