In assessing whether your child should study abroad, here are five questions you should ask:

 

1. Where is the destination and how long is the program?

2. How safe is the country where the student will study?

3. Will your child's university or college give credit for the program you choose?

 

4 .What goals does the student have for his time abroad?

5. Is the student willing to fully immerse himself in a new culture?

Prepare yourself to answer these questions and more!
