As a non-traditional student, you bring life experience and unique perspectives to education abroad. Whether balancing family, work, or other responsibilities, we’ll help you create a feasible plan.

Considerations:

  1. Program Duration:
    • Short-term programs during breaks may suit work or family obligations better than semester-long options.
  2. Family Accommodations:
    • Research family housing and childcare options if traveling with dependents.
  3. Cultural Fit:
    • Research societal attitudes toward adult students in your host country.

Support Tips:

  • Connect with faculty and fellow non-traditional students who’ve studied abroad.
  • Review program flexibility to align with your personal commitments.
  • Schedule an advising appointment to discuss options tailored to your needs.
