What is it actually like to spend a high school year abroad? No one knows or can explain it better than the people who have gone on this adventure themselves. That\u2019s why we let several of our students take over our social media channels, like Instagram<\/a> and TikTok<\/a>, to talk about what their year abroad was like. They share their thoughts before their trip, suggest what to pack, discuss their experience during their year abroad, and much more. And also follow the hashtag #stseducation.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Do you want to share about your journey?<\/h2>\n

Would you like to share your experiences in our channels too? Send an email to social.media@sts-education.com<\/a> whether you want to take part via Instagram or TikTok, maybe you\u2019ll get to show up in our channels next time.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
