• Stay in touch with the friends you made while abroad.
  
• Use e-mail whenever possible to keep them informed of your life in the U.S.
• Talk with other students who have traveled abroad. Share stories and impressions.
• Visit UC International Programs. Share the good memories and any suggestions you have for improvement.
  
• Complete the evaluation of your program. Remember, constructive comments are most helpful.
• Volunteer to be a buddy for an international student.
