Get Going! - Life at Colby - Colby College, Waterville, ME

Leave campus and have a great time!

The key to having a successful off-campus study experience is to spend time researching possibilities, thinking about your goals, considering your plans, and talking to others. We encourage you to speak to returned off-campus study students, OCS Global Ambassadors, and to your academic advisors. The more people you speak with, the more research you do and the thought you invest into choosing your program, the better your ultimate choice will be!

COMMUNICATION ABROAD

Are you planning on using your phone abroad with a local SIM card? Checking your Colby email (you should!) Read this informative article and watch this video to learn how to enable 2 factor authentication (required for all Colby systems!) while abroad.

DON'T FORGET

This is a full-circle process, at the end of your program you will need to complete a program evaluation to help guide other Colby students as they move through this same process.

BE A RESOURCE

Share your experience with other Colby students and be an ambassador for international education on campus! Contact OCS for details.
