Are you thinking of going away as an International Student? ...but not sure if you are strong enough or if you finance a year.

Tell us more about your situation and I'm sure many will help you.

Right now I'm VERY unsure. Do I really want to go? (ofc I want, but CAN I go?) Is Uruguay the right country? Is Spanish the right language? Or Will I change to French or Finnish? Or Mayby English? I DON'T know!!!

Hmm, you could always wait and see if you changed your mind? o:

Personally, I'm completely sure about going, especially because I've signed up for it now officially (:
But I still get unsure at times, like when I was partying with my best friend yesterday and we had so much fun- then I think about all the fun times with her and all of my other friends, that I'll be missing while I'm gone.. D: But I quickly remind myself of all the fun I'll be having while being on exchange :3

I think everyone gets unsure from time to time, debating with themselves whether to go or not, but in the end I think you should just stick with your decision

I have wanted to exchange for a very long time now and have sooo much mania that I think about nearly every hour. My only concern is that I am bi-polar. I really am not generally bad but the anxiety or possible anxiety abroad is getting me anxious. I consider myself strong and don't let my bi-polarity get me down but.. I just won't know until I try. I am so back and forth and yet I would never withdraw my application. Should I still go?

of course! If you want to go, just go

This is really a hard decision to make. I'm so afraid to end up in a village with 300 people or something, and I don't feel like travelling away from my old grandparents...

I think they would like you to be Happy, and have good experience who will help you a lot in your life! But I understand your fear. They are old, and might die under your year. But who says they won't die 10 years later, when you missed your chance to be an exchangestudent?

I do a lot of intense dance and singing, and i don't know how i can be away for a whole year, then be in terrible condition the next year. But i really want to go on an exchange year.

Can't you take singing and dance classes when you're an exchangestudent?
