Every year we have some students go to Canada and one or two to Asian countries, but in the last several years there has been greater interest in a wider variety of countries.
It is important to research early on so that you learn how the system works in different countries. There may be different admissions criteria, other exams, and several extra steps just to apply, and then of course the prospect of being in another country requires planning and careful consideration. Use the resources linked below and let us know of any other helpful sites or materials that you find in your search.
Shorewood graduates studying in other countries almost uniformly say that it is worth the extra work and that they are having incredible experiences.
