Students interested in studying abroad are encouraged to attend an informal information session held in late November. Current international exchange students studying at the GSM attend this meeting to answer questions about their home universities and their exchange experience in general. This has proven to be a great opportunity for our students to talk to the exchange students and get specifics about their home university with regard to classes, places to live, faculty, cost of living and lots more.

There will be a second information session in February which is mandatory. During the first part of the information session, we will go over the application requirements, instructions and selection criteria as well as answer general questions about the Exchange Program. During the second half of the Information Session, GSM students who have just returned from their fall quarter study abroad will talk about their exchange experience and answer any questions you may have regarding studies abroad.
