FOR STUDENTS STUDYING ABROAD SPRING 2008:

Study Abroad Pre-Departure #1

This first meeting will focus mostly on these types of study abroad-related issues: passports, visas, NDSU Study Abroad Course Plan, registering for classes, purchasing plane tickets, money issues and financial aid, how to find out more about your host country, etcetera. It will also be a chance for you to meet each other - this will be especially interesting for those of you who find you may be going to the same location as other NDSU students.
