[quote=Anonymous]Agree - if it's language immersion or maybe a very different culture, then a homestay might be better. My husband studied in Oman for a language immersion program in collage, and staying with a family really made his experience.

In terms of determining the program - it's convenient to do one that is already set up through the university because you know credits will count without issue, there may be an office or support network there if needed, etc. If there is an existing program your daughter is really excited about and/or she may need some built in support for whatever reason, then I'd suggest doing a program through her university.

On the flip side - it is really empowering to find and do your own thing when it comes to study abroad. You're more likely to make international friends and, if applicable, learn the language because you really have to. You can't hind with other students from your home university. I found my own program when studying abroad in 2013 and the independence it gave me was life changing. Only your daughter can know if she is ready for that. [/quote]
