My Experience Studying Abroad in Japan : The Gilman Scholarship, Travel Abroad Tips, and More

Going abroad for the first time will be one of the best decisions of your life. It was for me when I studied abroad for the first time in Japan for the summer of 2016. I would do it all over again in a heartbeat if I could. To have the privilege of traveling abroad as a college student doesn't have to break the bank, and it shouldn't either. If you are determined enough, you can procure enough scholarships to fully fund your trip abroad. Your time spent in another country will bring along a slew of new experiences for you. New culture. New people. New foods. New places. The question isn't a matter of why you should study abroad; it's a matter of why you wouldn't want to!
