Our Best Advice on Studying Abroad in College

Studying abroad is one of the most rewarding experiences students can pursue in college. Here's all the advice you could need to make it happen.

Studying abroad is one of those college perks that almost seems too good to be true (right up there with all-you-can-eat ice cream in the dining hall). You'll get to go globe-trotting for college credit, see incredible sites, and learn from amazingly diverse people along the way. It’s also a surprisingly marketable experience when you’re out job hunting after graduation. If you’re lucky enough to have study abroad opportunities available to you in high school or college, take advantage! These articles, blogs, and lists will help you navigate your study abroad program options and show you how to make the most of your time while you're away.

CollegeXpress has helped me explore my views on college in that "why do I wanna go to a certain school" way. It’s helped me explore the best fits in all of these outstanding choices. All these college admission counselors can access my accolades showing them how I could help their college. This source of information helps me show these admission directors who I am and what I'm interested in. Thanks to this platform, my experience for education will be better than most, and I'm so grateful for all that it has provided for me.

I express my sincere gratitude to you for doing such a wonderful job. I recommend CollegeXpress without any reservations.

CollegeXpress has helped me learn about an abundance of scholarships available to me and my situation. I was able to do research for colleges in my best interest with your website. I've had multiple colleges email me and offer me multiple scholarships and things of that nature because of this website! Thank you so much for uploading scholarships I didn’t even know existed, even if my life took a huge turn and I wasn’t able to go to college straight out of high school. CollegeXpress helped me a lot in high school to be even more motivated to get into my dream college (which I did, by the way). I'm looking forward to using the materials CollegeXpress has kindly provided me for free to look for scholarships to help pay for college.

It's an honor for me to be writing to share a little about my experience with CollegeXpress. I've been using CollegeXpress for about a year now, and the reason why I chose it is because it provides astonishing scholarships for every student around the globe. Besides that, this organization dispenses all the information necessary to help students get to college. CollegeXpress has helped me have an easier experience with applying to colleges and choosing the best fit for myself.

I had absolutely no idea where I wanted to go to school; I was considering colleges in almost every state. CollegeXpress was an amazing resource and helped me compare all of my top schools. Without the help of CollegeXpress, I probably wouldn't have made such an informed and confident decision.
