Okay, so I’m moving soon, and I’m really overwhelmed by all the housing choices. I’ve been looking online, but everything just seems so generic. I need to know, like, really know, what all the possibilities are. I’m not a first-time renter, but it’s been a while, and things have changed. My budget is… flexible, let’s…
I’m about to move from the US (specifically, a pretty diverse suburb of Chicago) to a small, rural town in southern Germany for work. I’ve traveled internationally before, mostly to other major cities and tourist destinations, so I haven’t really lived anywhere that different from my own culture. I’m worried about experiencing culture shock and…
Okay, so I’m applying to go on exchange next year, and the paperwork is insane. Everyone talks about the host university’s responsibilities, like classes and accommodation. But what exactly is my home university still doing while I’m gone? I’m paying tuition to them, not the host university (usually!), so they must be doing something, right?…
Okay, so I’m going to be an international student attending a university in the UK for a year abroad as part of my degree. I’m trying to figure out what kind of support I can realistically expect from the host university before and during my stay. My home university is pretty vague about it, saying…

I’m going from the University of [My University Name] to [Host University Name] in [Host Country]. Specifically, I’m wondering about a few things. Firstly, how many credits do I actually need…
Okay, so I’m planning a trip, and honestly, the visa stuff is confusing me. I’m a citizen of the United States (specifically, I have a US passport), and I want to visit several different countries. Specifically, I’m thinking of going to: Japan: I’d love to explore Tokyo and maybe some of the more rural areas….
Okay, so I’m starting to look into college and the tuition costs are insane. I’m really worried about how I’m going to pay for everything. My parents make a decent living, but definitely not enough to just write a check for four years of college! I know there’s "financial aid" out there, but I’m kind…
Okay, so I’m really keen on doing an exchange program while I’m at university, but I’m just starting to look into it all, and the cost is the big question mark hanging over everything. I’m a student at the University of [Insert University Name Here] in [City, State] and I’m thinking of going abroad during…
