Going abroad has a lot of benefits and various costs. Here are some things you will miss, and should think about compensating for, if you go abroad in:
Junior Fall
Internship Info-sessions Whether you're currently looking seriously at banking/consulting internships or NGO/IGO work or something else, being away in the Fall you miss a big chance to see what's out there and to get on the job trail. Compensate: If you're super-organised you can go to the sessions in your Sophomore Fall or Sophomore Spring. Otherwise, stay in touch with people on campus who will keep you up to date. If you're studying abroad at a relatively prestigious university, especially in Europe, it's possible that you can attend info-sessions on your new campus that are similar to the ones you missed here.
