Diversity in Study Abroad 

Sexual orientation

Preparing for what to expect in a particular country can make the difference between a wonderful experience abroad and an unpleasant one. Before you go, learn the laws pertaining to homosexuality in the countries you plan to visit.  Reflect on the culturally based ideas and definitions of sexual identity and consider carefully how you identity as a GLBT person may affect your relationships with host nationals, your cultural adjustment and your overall education abroad experience.
