Study Abroad Advice

Hey all :smile:

I’m a student going abroad for my second semester in Japan!

For all of you that have travelled abroad how did you find it and what should I be prepared for?

King Regards,
Vasilisa.
Studying abroad is such an exciting opportunity! Be prepared for cultural differences and possibly some homesickness, but also be open to making new friends and embracing a new lifestyle. Japan is amazing, so try to immerse yourself in the local culture and take every chance to explore. Best of luck with your second semester!
Wow what an experience you are going to have, I have always wanted to visit Japan! What will you be studying and where? I guess just embrace the experience and try to see as much as possible.
