Statement of Purpose

Please answer the following questions (1/2 - 1 page in length), then upload your answers at the end of the application. (The questions and answers are more for your benefit, then to be used as an evaluation tool by Study Abroad. Save these questions and answers for future reference, like when writing a cover letter for a potential job.)

1) Why have you chosen to study abroad and what do you hope to gain from the experience? Why have you chosen this specific program and location? Please include how your study abroad experience will fit into your career plans, intellectual/personal growth, and educational goals. 

2) Please discuss three ways that you think life in your host country will be similar to life in the U.S. and three ways that you think it will be different. A good essay will include examples beyond obvious differences, indicate you have researched your host country and culture, demonstrate personal reflection, and discuss how you plan to cope with these similarities and differences. 

3) Feel free to share other information that might be good for you to reflect on later. Save your answers in a separate Word document for yourself.

Your answers must be included in the same file, preferably in Word or PDF.
