8 Graduate School… Overseas! Just like applying to grad school here in the U.S.; you can apply to graduate school anywhere in the world! Most international applications are due toward the end of summer / late fall –i.e. for grad school in Fall of 2016, you’d want to start looking at deadlines NOW, and probably apply before the end of the year, depending on the university.

9 …but whatever it is you do, and wherever it is you go… Have a great (culturally aware) experience!
