It is a good thing that you have all summer to prepare yourself for studying abroad in the fall, because choosing where to go might take a while. When it comes to studying abroad, the world is more than an oyster; it’s an ocean full of oysters. Fall study abroad opportunities are endless. While you thought moving overseas to study would be the hardest thing you ever did, you’re wrong: choosing where to move overseas for study is.

If your heart is set on Europe, France might be the fairest of them all when it comes to studying abroad in fall. Paris is forever timeless and there is a special magic in the air as the weather cools down and the tourists leave town. The many parks and tree-lined boulevards turn gold and crimson, and the warmth of coffee shops invites students in for study sessions. Hum your own chanson d'automne amidsts chocolate croissants and baguettes.

Further south, Greece is the perfect spot for study abroad students who want to prolong their summer just a little bit longer. Greece’s beaches can be enjoyed well into fall, and feta and olives have no season (plus they make great study snacks). Fall also happens to be the time of grape harvests and wine festivals in Greece, which will convince even non-oenophiles that this is the best season of the year.

If you want to skip fall altogether, half of the world conveniently has opposite seasons. In the southern hemisphere, you can spend your fall semester abroad springing into sunny study sessions. Australia’s laid-back culture, endless beaches, and blue skies will ensure that you never have to suffer from exam-stress.

Alternatively, Argentina beckons the adventurous at heart. From Patagonia to tango to mate, Argentina promises to provide plenty of extra-curricular learning. As a bonus, world-class steaks and wine are affordable even for students in Argentina, meaning your student diet of toast and peanut butter will quickly become a distant memory.
