Before you start, here are some important questions to consider:
- What are my reasons for going overseas?
- What are my academic and career goals?
- How will I finance my time overseas?
- When is the best time in my course to go?
- What are my outside interests, and where can I pursue these?
- What kind of university experience would I like – city, college or university town?
- What sort of accommodation do I want to live in?
- What are my language skills, and where can I go that is appropriate to these?
