Abstract
In recent years, the number of students wanting and going to study abroad has been on the rise. However, there can be a wide range of differences in what the students bring back from their experiences. The purpose of this study is to give an overview and reflect on study abroad initiatives from NIT, Oita College for fourth year internship students going to Singapore Polytechnic. Over three years, various approaches were taken, such as journal writing and pre-departure orientations. An analysis of what helped make the students have a more meaningful study abroad experience will be analyzed. Finally, the results are intended to help enrich the future cohorts from this college, even outside of the internship program.
