Below are some resources which may be helpful as you consider your study away options. Our hope is that this will be an ever-growing list that will continue to evolve as additional resources become available both on and off campus. If you find a particularly useful resource while you are doing your own research, please let us know about it by emailing studyaway@stanford.edu.
