Staying Connected: A Newsletter for First Year Students

Study Abroad
By Kim Alt

Studying abroad can be one of the most diverse experiences in a lifetime. It's an opportunity to discover different cultures and lifestyles and to forge relationships with people from distant lands. Webster has six campuses in other countries around the world, plus arrangements with partner institutions in Japan and Mexico.

Students interested in studying abroad should apply early. Getting a passport and a visa takes the process of a few months, so planning ahead is vital for successful preparation. From passport photos to packing, the Study Abroad Office is extremely helpful for getting interested students informed and accepted students ready to go.

Also, Webster Study Abroad has scholarships for free flights that students can apply for. Eligible students will be awarded a round trip plane ticket.
