[Blind-international-students] Blind-international-students Digest, Vol 11, Issue 1

Wed May 12 13:52:54 UTC 2010

Dear Justin,

I agree with Dan above; you have to do a lot of research. Why are you being
encouraged to study abroad in the UK or Australia? Are the best economics
programs located there? How much of a Spanish curriculum are you looking
for? etc...

I have studied abroad in Oslo, Norway twice, Paris, France and will be in
Costa Rica next month. I had very different experience in Norway and France.
If you have questions about any programs I did, please let me know.

Studying abroad should be one of the best experiences of your life!

Kate
