Going to do my masters at the University of Glasgow in September and you talking about the anxiety and excitement of leaving is a perfect representation of how i am feeling.

[juammygarcia]

Perfect timing when leaving is getting closer and my thoughts are like DONT GO

Thanks girl! I did a year abroad in America last year and it was AMAZING, now I am planning my masters in Europe, so excited

Ok but what do you do when you really want to study abroad, but your family won’t stop giving you Intense amount of grief about it? Ex: don’t you love me? I’ll never get to see you again. Why would you ever want to do that when your whole life is here? Etc etc.

Edit: I just went into high school, so naturally this topic came up. A few weeks ago, I was invited to go to a three country leadership conference in Europe my third year. I think this is a step in the right direction.

about to begin my yr abroad at glasgow uni and am feeling so anxious about essentially starting a new, temporary life from (almost) scratch...this video was helpful in reminding me how rewarding it will be despite the nerves

Hey so I never went to Uni abroad but I went to Highschool in Würzburg, Germany 🇩🇪.. the culture shock was real( cigarettes machines outside on buildings?? I was 16.) but I eventually got used to German life and began to see things from a European prospective. My parents
And my sis and myself traveled a lot around Europe and I learned so much about European culture. Yes a few Germans asked me if I rode horse and if I was a cowboy because I’m from Texas.. I think going to Uni abroad is something every young person should experience because it is an eye opener.

[mmariemegann]

Can you make a video about how you got prepared for studying abroad I know you’ve done a few but more like how you contacted the school or places about where to stay, visa stuff, transportation etc how all that went down like the behind the scene meticulous stuff I guess. Also just wanted to say thank you for these videos they help a lot!

[AqmirAlhamdi]

Heyy, you should do a video talking about the post travel depression feeling after studying abroad, idk if that’s the right term to say it but since I got home after being in Canada, i feel so sad, just to think about all the memories there, the people I met and probably not have the chance for seeing them again, missing the freedom to be in other country:( Im kinda dealing with that right now
