Discussion Study Abroad During Covid-19: Any Updates?

[EndlessHorizons]

My son is currently studying in Austria while pursuing his BS. He arranged everything himself and is navigating this unique experience during the Covid-19 pandemic. I'm curious if anyone else has insights or updates on studying abroad in these times. How are universities handling classes, and what’s the general atmosphere like for international students? Any advice or shared experiences would be very helpful!

It's great to hear your son is studying in Austria! Many universities are adapting by offering hybrid classes, blending online and in-person learning. The atmosphere can vary, but students often find a supportive community—albeit with some health protocols in place. Have you considered checking if there are any local student groups or online forums that focus on expat experiences? They can provide valuable insights and tips for staying connected and making the most of the experience during these challenging times.

It sounds like your son is having quite the adventure! Along with checking local student groups, connecting with other international students can also be a great way to share experiences. Sometimes, universities organize virtual meetups that might help him feel less isolated. How has he been coping with the changes? Any challenges he's faced that you think others might relate to?
