Why should students begin to consider studying abroad while they are still freshmen and sophomores?
Unlike juniors and seniors, freshmen and sophomores have more freedom in terms of classes they are taking. They also have many General Education credits that they need to earn toward their graduation. This makes studying abroad easier and more fun. Students are open to a variety of classes that they can take overseas and would still satisfy their graduation requirements. Many undeclared-major students also use the opportunity of studying abroad to experiment and decide their majors.
