Once you decide to study abroad there are many ways to go about it. I advise contacting your school international office before hand to see what options are open to you. You could go about studying abroad in so many different ways such as contacting the other school personally or find a study abroad program. In my case I chose a study abroad program by the name of KEI, Knowledge Exchange Institue. I chose this program for many reason one being they give you the option to go to a country based on your major. It alllows you to study abroad without lossing your reason for going to school. They also do excursion, so for instance when I arrived in Ecuador we spent a week going to Quito, Otavalo, and Riobamba. We also have planned trips throughout me staying here. For instance this weekend we are gong to Quenca. I say we because there are 60 international students from all over the world that decided to study here at UEES, Universidad Espritu Santo and at UEES they have us all meet that first week. Its very comforting because when you start school you realize its not that easy to make friends as in the States because you can't speak the language. You tend to get close with the other international students but one thing I say keep in mind is that you left to go to another country, so just keep in mind to sorround yourself around those people. Learn somethings from them, and you be suprise at what you learn. On the next blog I will talk about finacing your trip and budgeting throughout the whole trip. Untill then here is pictures of some of the other international students.
