Identity and Diversity Abroad
Other cultures may value diversity differently, and diversity may be more or less embraced in the culture you will be living in. It’s important to do some research beforehand to understand how your host culture values diverse characteristics.
Health and Safety
Study abroad can heighten pre-existing medical, mental health, or personal issues or contribute to new ones. Local culture, customs, and practices may not have/provide the support systems you might be accustomed to in the U.S. Though this is a time of broadening your horizons, you must exercise caution to be as safe as possible while overseas.

I feel like being a part of a very prestigious study abroad program has given me something that I can not only add to my resume but also gave me a fuller perspective on how big the world is outside of my own little bubble!”
Studying abroad has greatly helped with my confidence. I went to both London and Paris for my program. Going to two different foreign countries and living in two major cities while navigating by myself without getting lost made me feel like anything was possible.
