Policy and institutional initiatives
Summary
We qualitatively analyzed the experiences of students who began applications for but ultimately did not pursue study abroad (SA). Findings suggest that besides concerns regarding high costs and lost summer work time, our participants felt SA marketing was directed at others. We discuss potential institutional initiatives to address these issues.
