Resources
Welcome to the CollegeAbroad.com Student Resource page. Here, you will find all the information you need on traveling overseas and well as communicating and finding housing while abroad.
We know it can be frightening to leave everything you know behind. That is why we are here to try to make this exciting journey a little easier and little more attainable for you. If there is any information you feel we left out, please let us know. You can reach us through our contact page.
Financial Aid and Costs
Many students have questions about obtaining financial aid for study oversees or concerns about the cost of studying abroad. The financial aid page provides information and resources that have helped other students in the past. If you have experience with some aspect of finacial aid or costs associated with studying abroad that is not mentioned in this section, please let us know so we can share that information with other students.
Travel
On our travel information page you can find information related to international travel and moving. On a general level we try to answer some questions like, "What's the best way to get around over there?" or "Is it cheaper to buy new furniture when I get there or to move what I already have?" We will be updating this section throughout the life of this site as students submit their experiences with this topic to us.
Communications
How are you going to "Phone Home"? Will your current cell phone work in Europe or Australia? What are your communications options? The international communication page answers questions like these and provides a brief explanation of the various options that are available for international communications.
Housing
Our international housing page provides general information about organizing a living arrangment in a foriegn country. Along with basic guide lines for finding an apartment and using your school's resources, it provides links to other sites that can assist in this sometimes stressful topic.
Helpful Links
The Helpful Links section of the site is just what it sounds like. These are links that we think are valuable resources of information that may be outside the scope of this site. They are either sites that we found on our own or are sites that have been provided by other students and organizations. If you think we are missing one, let us know.
