The staff at StudyAbroad.com spent a long time crafting a survey geared toward advisors, and a similar one geared toward students, that would help us find out why, as Open Doors reports, students consistently go to the same countries (namely, the top five: France, Italy, England, Spain, and Australia).
The two links below give a detailed description of why this is, as well as some advice on what the Study Abroad Knowledge Community can do about it:
Breakdown of the advisor results - What do study abroad advisors think they know about students? Find out here, and receive tips on how to reach out to your students in the process.
Breakdown of the student results - Discover the disconnect between study abroad advisors and students and learn how to increase interest in non-traditional locations.
StudyAbroad.com's goal is to provide study abroad advisors with as much knowledge as possible to help them influence more students to study abroad. If you would like to ask a question about these results or contact us for any reason, call at 610-499-9200 or e-mail at info@studyabroad.com.
