For some people, learning about the existence of international programs is more a matter of chance than design. Several alumnae said that they knew such a possibility existed only because someone in their family had studied abroad. At some universities, program brochures are treated as privileged information by a few faculty who may decide to share them only with favored students. On the other hand, the situation is not uniformly bleak. Keep in mind that no matter who or what you consult, the process of securing detailed, focused information takes effort.
Many programs are very specific in their requirements.
Think creatively about where you might find information. Some programs distribute posters not only at universities, but also through the news media. The internet is a good place to go for information. If you do not have access to a computer, perhaps you know someone who does at home or at work. Talk to people and explore every reasonable lead.
