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.
