Pressezitat
"In over 20 years of working with international students I haven't seen a book that is so tailored to their needs. Studying overseas is challenging but ultimately rewarding. This guide is an A to Z of how to study, work and live abroad successfully. It should be mandatory reading for all international students." - Jane Barrett, co-author of Taking Charge of Your Career "As a university professor who has both studied and taught in several different countries, I strongly recommend A Guide to Studying Abroad, which does exactly what its title promises. Clearly written and accessible, the book features precious insight on how to apply successfully to international programs, adjust to life in a foreign land, ace tests and exams and, finally, on how to get ready for the job market and prepare a winning resume. A must read for current and potential international students from all over the world." - Daniel Béland, Professor, Department of Political Science, McGill University, Montreal, Canada
