Five Places You Might Think Twice About Studying Abroad In

Are you planning to study abroad in the near future

, but have not yet chosen a location? Do you have a rough idea of where you want to go, but are not quite sure if it is the right place for you? No matter what stage of the travel planning process you are in, you must be sure to consider each potential problem that could arise. Read on for a list of five popular study abroad destinations which, for various reasons, may turn out to be less than ideal.

- Primarily English-Speaking Countries - If you are already fluent in English, why not travel to a country where you can experience an entirely different language? Even if you are not a language student you will still gain invaluable skills by living in a non-English-speaking country, so do not take the easy way out!

- Politically Tumultuous Regions - These vary based upon current events, so stay informed! If you are hearing a lot about a particular area's exciting events, you may feel the urge to travel there and experience the revolution for yourself. However adventurous this idea may seem, you do not want to risk putting your education on hold while you flee the country!

- The Most Popular Study Abroad Locations - These include many of the most obvious locations for studying abroad. Although it is perfectly fine to study in these places, you must be sure to avoid schools with large percentages of international students. Why pay to study in a foreign school if most of the people you interact with are still have the same background and language as you do?

- Countries With Poor Public Health - Although traveling to less developed nations may make you feel worldy and adventurous, living in an area for a prolonged period of time is an entirely different matter. You will need to be in top physical condition to perform well academically, so be sure to take public health issues into consideration.

- The Same Place Your Parents Studied Abroad - Your parents will be able to tell you plenty of stories about their study abroad years, and you may feel tempted to follow in their footsteps. However, their stories are also likely to take the excitement, newness and freshness out of your own experiences.
