Common “functional” questions Can I study abroad and still graduate on time? Do I need a certain GPA? How many credits do I get if I go abroad? Are the credits distributive or free electives?  What  courses should I take now if I want to go

abroad? Do I get financial aid? Is there a sequence I should follow?
