Ever done it or are currently planning to do it? Where'd you go? How was your program?

Post any tips/experiences if you have any. I'm thinking about doing a semester abroad next fall, and my biggest fear is that when I get there I'll have problems with enrolling or finances or some shit and I'd have to call my parents on a pay phone sobbing because I'd be 500,000 miles away with nobody to help me.

Pic related, it's the program that I'll probably be using.
