General Questions from a Rising College Freshman

Here are some questions that I have but don't feel restricted by them, any advice on studying abroad would be gladly appreciated.

Do businesses, or employers really care that much about studying abroad?

Are they picky on where you study abroad?

If you’re going to a U.S. school, would studying abroad in Canada be kind of a “cop out”?

What are some hardships of studying abroad and what are some tips to avoid said hardships or at least be conscious of them before going abroad?

It depends on the business as to whether it would be considered valuable.

Be picky, choose a place that arouses some kind of passion in you, for the culture or the economy.

If you are open-minded, t is a fabulous adventure that can open your eyes to things you cannot even imagine.

You can feel lost and alienated, but that is part of the experience, too. The first time I lived abroad, in Germany, I was lonely and felt deeply offended at what I perceived as a marxist disdain for America, but it got me to think.
