Reading this book was a trip down memory lane, because I was an international student back in 2015 and from 2017 to april 2019 I used to work in an agency that helps exchange students get accepted in universities all around the world. So with this book I was able not only to update my knowledge about application process, funding and other matters related to the bureaucracy of studying abroad, but I could also relive in my mind the amazing experience I had when I decided to venture into a new country and university for a year! I'm also preparing myself to apply for a PhD abroad so there are some really useful tips with clear examples on how to prepare a letter of intent, a reference letter, a resumé and other documents that will be mandatory to succeed in the application. Said that, this book is a perfect guide for the student that is preparing himself to go and also to people that works directly with international education!
