A few months ago, a friend shared with me his anxiety about moving to another state for school. He was thrilled to attend his dream university but also afraid of not fitting in, of being far from everything familiar and feeling lonely. Since I’ve lived far from home several times, he asked for my advice. My name is Marine. I’m a full-time student at Santa Barbara City College, and I’m from France.

As the days creep closer to this new adventure abroad, my mind begins to race with both anticipation and nerve. In the upcoming days a whole new world will have just opened up for myself and the other students included. I think anyone on this journey could possibly agree the level of excitement exceeds expectations and what words can describe.
