The first step to actually stepping outside of the box...

Studying abroad for me will mean stepping outside of my comfort zone and stepping outside of the box. Are you willing to step outside of the box with me? How do we go about doing this though?

1.)First, I searched online for my universities study abroad website Once I got there I began to surf around the website to get a good feel for what it will actually take to study abroad. I found information for a study abroad fair that is being held here at NC State University.
2.) Next, I am going to visit the NCSU study abroad fair on September 16th. There I will have the opportunity to meet with advisers and faculty that will guide me in the right direction as I look over the study abroad programs being offered. If you are trying to study abroad too, first check out your university's study abroad website and see if they are holding a similar fair. These fairs are very informative and will provide you with pamphlets and informational guides for the programs being offered at your university. You can also speak with people that have actually been on these trips to get the inside scoop.
3.) After visiting the study abroad fair, I am hoping that I will have found some interesting programs to choose from. I will begin to research the specific locations of each program to find out which one seems most appealing to me.

 Here is a short video clip I found at the NC State University Study Abroad office website:
