What were your favorite classes abroad? How did they compare to UCSB?.Although I retain a few words, a crash course on basic French would have helped tremendously. As a result, I lost much of the knowledge. I studied the language for four years in high school but did not continue once I entered college. I wish I had brushed up on my French to prepare myself.

What do you wish you had done to better prepare before going abroad?.This fear quickly went away when I had met awesome people whom I still talk to as of today. I was very concerned with being unable to make connections with my fellow program mates.

My biggest fear prior to leaving for my host countries was the inability to make any friends. What was your biggest fear about studying abroad that turned out to be no big deal?
