Living and Studying Abroad cover

This book explores the complexities of studying abroad, detailing research on student experiences and methodologies in Living and Studying Abroad.

The book Living and Studying Abroad delves into the experiences of students who embark on educational journeys across various countries. It covers a broad spectrum of student mobility, including those traveling within Europe, as well as students from Europe and America heading to East Asia and China. Through a series of articles, the authors present research findings alongside detailed accounts of the methodologies employed, making it a valuable resource for fellow researchers in the field.

As the internationalization of higher education continues to grow, the phenomenon of studying abroad has become increasingly prevalent. Students often find themselves engaging in short study tours or enrolling in courses at foreign universities for extended periods. However, the experience of studying abroad extends beyond academics; it encompasses the challenges and rewards of adapting to a new culture and lifestyle. The chapters within Living and Studying Abroad explore these dynamics, shedding light on the multifaceted nature of the study abroad experience.

Each chapter provides an in-depth look at specific cases, detailing research findings and their implications. Additionally, authors reflect critically on the research methods utilized, offering insights into the complexities of conducting such studies. This dual approach not only enhances understanding of the student experience but also serves as a guide for researchers navigating the intricacies of international education studies.

This volume offers a refreshing read not only to research regarding studying and living abroad but also to research in general. This volume serves as an invaluable tool for developing a strong research design in studying cultural interaction and its implication for study abroad.

Living and Studying Abroad bears valuable testimony to a field in transition. It will give new researchers a strong sense of what is possible and underlines the limitations inherent in certain types of approach. It is a book to be enjoyed and used as a methodological reference by anyone interested in cultural impacts of study and work abroad.
