Living in another language 24/7 on a fully immersive study abroad program is one of the best ways to improve your language skills. And while the benefits are numerous, there can also be hardships along the way. This panel will discuss the joys and struggles of language study abroad programs from the perspectives of a language professor, a study abroad professional, and a returned study abroad student. You will gain useful information about what to look for when exploring language-focused study abroad programs, in order to choose the international experience that's right for you!
