PRE-DEPARTURE
Congratulations on being accepted to your program! We know you are excited, but there are a few items to take care of before you leave. Please carefully review each of the sub-links in this category. Also, note that your Davidson program or partner provider may have additional information that is not listed on this website. Double check everything and safe travels!
Expectations:
1. If you are feeling overwhelmed, remember why you chose to study abroad:
2. It will not be like home – and why would you want it to be? Experience something new!
3. The most important qualities to take with you are flexibility, curiosity, an open mind, and your sense of humor. Some of the frustrating moments (like getting lost on the train or realizing you used the incorrect word in your second language) will actually turn out to be great memories that you will later laugh about!
