<p>When I was considering a study abroad program as an undergrad, I had so many questions and concerns, much like the issues raised in this post. It can be hard to weed through all of the opinions and options available. I decided to study in Pescara, Italy for only a half-semester, but did a lot of research before figuring out what would work best for me. NextStepU has some really helpful information ([Study</a> abroad - college study abroad options - Step 21 - NextStepU](<a href=“http://www.nextstepu.com/study-abroad.aspx]Study”>http://www.nextstepu.com/study-abroad.aspx)) Good luck!</p>
