The Year Abroad

The Year Abroad.  The phrase that has been thrown around for the past two years of my degree with a mixture of excitement, trepidation and all-out terror.  One year of your degree.  Abroad.  Sounds simple, right?!  Well I'm about to find out as I embark on the third year of my European Studies degree.

They claim that your year abroad is the best thing that you'll do in the entire of your academic career...  We'll see about that.
