My word. Where to begin? Before kicking off with the administrative pre departure preparations I would like to urge those who are interested in studying abroad to sit down and apply. Just do it. Being part of an academic experience abroad gives one so much more perspective on various aspects of life. It’s not just another lecture or class – it becomes more of a life lesson and will add tremendous amounts of value to your studies and the way you view the world.

Pre-departure :
When I got accepted to go on the summer school at Hohenheim University near Stuttgart in Germany, I didn’t know that it would be a highlight of my year. My preparation for the summer school played a great part in making my time abroad so great.
The first thing I did, was to book my flights. The sooner the cheaper, and you need booked return flights for the visa application. I used a travel agency to make the booking. They could get me the cheapest flights, with convenient lay over times. They also arranged the travel insurance.

APPLYING:
I had always dreamt of attending a summer program abroad since I was in first year, so I began doing my research way ahead of time to make sure I would meet the criteria of a potential candidate. When the applications opened, it was important for me to go through each of the programs and see what was available. I eventually selected a business course in economics; I am an aspiring global entrepreneur so I thought this course would help me further this aspiration.
