What advice would I give to someone studying abroad or considering it?

Welcome to our first solo episode hosted by me (Lucy)! Monday marks one year of me leaving for my study abroad semester in Ireland, so I decided that while Sally has a busy week with classes starting, I would give y'all all the info you might need before studying abroad! I touch on expectations to have/not to have, trip planning, packing, how to make the place your own, and so much more. Additionally, if you are considering studying abroad, I discuss the why it is such a valuable experience and things I would consider when selecting a location and program. I hope some of you find this helpful, or if you have studied abroad, I hope that you can relate. Let me know if I missed anything! Or maybe this is just a fun listen! Regardless, I'm wishing you all a smooth start to September. Hope to see y'all next week with Sally back on the pod!
