Keep in mind that not all study abroad programs are right for every student.  You should investigate multiple programs to find one that is right for you.  You will want to evaluate each program’s formal (classroom) and informal instruction, the quality and scope of the program's language component, and the program's administrative structure.  After thinking carefully about what you would like to gain from your experience and researching study abroad programs, select the program that will help you to meet your particular goals.
