How do I decide what kind of environment I would like to study in?

Not sure if you’d like to study in a big city or a small town? A big campus or a small one? Would you prefer the campus to be enclosed or integrated into a city? Choosing an environment that you are comfortable with or can adapt to can impact your studies and experiences abroad.  

Determining why you would like to go on an exchange is one of the most important things you can do to help narrow your focus. Are you interested in traveling and experiencing new food, cultures and ideas? Are you interested in making new friends, seeing the world from a new perspective, gaining independence? Perhaps you would like to build networks and contacts for your future career, study with a particular professor overseas, or take unique courses only offered at certain institutions. 

By asking yourself these questions and prioritizing what is most important to you, you can begin to narrow your options to those schools which can assist you in achieving your goals.
