Meet with an Education Abroad Adviser

Education abroad advisers work with a specific portfolio of locations and/or program types and can help answer questions about your program of interest including how other programs compare, the application process, pre-departure processes, and cultural preparation. All education abroad advising appointments are offered virtually using Zoom.

• Please list the following in the description box when scheduling an appointment:
  • Write the name of the region, country, or program you are interested in
  • List topics of discussion and please be as detailed as possible. For example: application process, costs & funding, travel logistics, health & safety, etc.

• Advisers often have back-to-back appointments, so please wait in the Zoom waiting room until your adviser is available. We will try our best to communicate with you if we are running behind
