Your first step to studying abroad will be to drop in for a meeting with our Peer Advisors, or email them for additional information.
Peer advisors are students who have studied abroad. They can answer any questions you might have, provide you with guidance and get you started on figuring out where, when and how you want to study abroad!
During Spring 2023, you will find peer advisors at the WORLD table in the CUB (ground floor, near the coffee shop) during the following times:
- Mondays - Meet with Sophia: 1 - 2 p.m.
- Tuesdays - Meet with Natasha: 11 a.m. - noon.
- Wednesdays - Meet with Neehal: 11 a.m. - noon
- Thursdays - Meet with Noureen: 4 - 5 p.m.
Peer advising will not be available on university holidays or during school breaks.
