3 Things I Wish I Knew Before Study Abroad

In my preparations for coming abroad, I made list upon list of clothing items, toiletries, technology, and other things I might need while in Rome. I stressed over everything I would need and wouldn’t need, trying to minimize what I was bringing while still packing enough. While I’m grateful I spent so much time focused on prepping my packing, there are a few things I wish I would’ve researched prior to leaving.

Connections and Disconnections

One of the things that worried me the most about coming abroad was friendships. After being asked about location and time span, the next thing people would ask me about studying abroad was “Are you going with anyone you know?” or “Who else is going from your school?”. In contrast to many people, I came here completely 100% alone. Coming from a small, rural school that doesn’t centralize around its study abroad program meant that few people studied abroad alongside me and nobody else from my school studied abroad in London with me.
