From the author: Objective: College students who study abroad may represent a subgroup at risk for increased drinking while living in foreign countries. The present study explores this idea as well as the extent to which students' pre-abroad perceptions of study-abroad student drinking are related to actual drinking while abroad. Method: Ninety-one students planning to study abroad completed an online survey of demographics, pre-abroad drinking behavior, perceptions of study-abroad student drinking behavior while abroad, and intentions to drink while abroad. Halfway into their study-abroad experience, participants completed a follow-up survey assessing drinking while abroad. Results: Pre-abroad intentions of drinking and pre-abroad perceptions of study-abroad drinking were associated with actual drinking while abroad. However, perceptions predicted actual drinking while abroad over and above intended drinking. In addition, although participants overall did not significantly increase their drinking while studying abroad, participants with higher pre-abroad perceived norms significantly increased their own drinking behavior while abroad. Conclusions: As in other samples of college students, perceived norms appear to be an important correlate of study-abroad student drinking behavior. Findings suggest that perceptions of study-abroad student-specific drinking predicted not only actual drinking while abroad but also increases in drinking from pre-abroad levels. Findings provide preliminary support for the idea that presenting prospective study-abroad students with accurate norms of study-abroad student-drinking behavior may help prevent increased or heavy drinking during this period.

Not Very Helpful for Those Outside the UK
It's hard to find good information about studying in Spain!

This book provided plenty of historical and philosophical information regarding the Spanish school system. It seems that the specific focus of the book is for UK undergraduate students who want to study in Spain.

If you're a post-grad, an enthusiastic language-learner, or simply looking for a change in your life that includes Spain, this book is not the comprehensive guide for you. ... Read more

Studying and Living in the United Kingdom
Don't waste your money.The information presented is too general to be helpful.The book does not go into enough detail on any subject to provide concrete advice to help students plan--rather it is a brief common sense guide, including information like:the drinking age is 18, people frequently gather at pubs, but drunkeness is frowned upon.

A Good Overview
Although a little dated, the book is a wonderful resource for anyone planning to study in the UK. It is especially helpful with things that might be overlooks like the health care system of the UK and "will I be covered". Although directed mostly toward the undergraduate level I found it helpful as I plan to get a graduate degree. Hopefully the British Council will come out with an updated version soon and put this worthy book back in print. ... Read more

Product Description
If the critical public had cared to snub Mr. and Mrs. Jimmie and Bee, I, who am a fighting champion of theirs, would never have run the risk of boring it by a further chronicle of their travels. But from a careful survey of my mail, I may say that the present volume of their doings and undoings is a direct result of the friendships they formed in As Seen by Me, and has almost literally been written by request.
