Study Abroad Options

[Blyat]

So around this time, a friend of mine just turned his papers in for his Study abroad for next year. It got me thinking again on how much I've wanted to be able to study abroad, experience a new country, and live the school/social life in the new world.

But, at the same time (which stopped me the first time), I had a few things stopping me, from my major change to renting a house for next year, let alone, how would I have my credits count in another University.

I'm curious to know if anyone here (or had a friend) were able to do this, but I'm also was curious with the particulars in study abroad:

Were you able to get your academic criteria in the school? (and with credits counting)

Did you go to take classes in your major? or just get some liberals done, or which looks better?

Overall was in enjoyable? what was the living/social/experience status you had

I know personal opinion and the school's criteria varies but I enjoy seeing other's opinions and ideas with this subject as well.

Agreed, I've gone through the adviser and financial part. Now, it's whether or not I can get academics covered, let alone, who can take my rent when I'm not in my home. Sadly, my adviser isn't too helpful with me, so I'll try and speak to an abroad adviser instead.

At this point, I just wanna also hear others opinions to who went, or a friend studied abroad and hear their challenges, experiences, and feelings about it.

But thank you :)
