As a non-traditional student (who may also
be a parent, employee, etc.), you are faced with unique challenges when it comes
to study abroad. You may not be able to leave for a semester-long program, you may
need to make arrangements for other family members, etc. We hope that this page will
inspire you to consider study abroad and help you to prepare once you've decided
to apply.
Begin researching now by looking at the
resources below, looking at Smith College program offerings, talking with the staff
in the Office for International Study, program alumni, and continue while you are
abroad by talking with your new friends.
