I say, do it! There will always be the tiny voice in your head telling you all the reasons that you shouldn’t go… but once you make your decision to go, these things become so easy to work out. I will remember this experience for the rest of my life. No matter where I go or what I do in the future, studying abroad will always be one of my best experiences.
