Exchange Student Survival Kit
From AFSWiki
The Exchange Student Survival Kit, 2nd edition
Written by long time AFS staff member Bettina Hansel and published by International Press
- Based on her years of research and professional involvement with AFS Intercultural programs, Dr. Bettina Hansel leads the exchange student through study abroad from beginning to end, thoroughly addressing the stages of adjustment, potential pitfalls, and enduring rewards of an international education. Using personal experiences from dozens of multicultural exchange students, Hansel offers a wealth of insight and practical advice.
- This much-awaited new edition includes:
- New communications technology as it affects the study abroad experience: email, instant messaging, cell phones, on-line games and blogs and information searches.
- Important advice on personal safety, pressing concerns for parents and students in light of war, terrorism, and crime.
- Changes in society and family life that affect travelers: fast food replacing family meals, a new emphasis on religious beliefs, consumerism, and globalism.
