Resources for Parents and Family
Parents and family members have significant influence in the study abroad experience. This extends from the financial support that many families provide, into the personal and social support that students truly need as they embark on their international adventure.

A good starting point for parents and family members is the study abroad office or international office at the student's college, university or school. Study abroad directors and advisors often have numerous resources for family members of those who study abroad.
