Do I need a study abroad adviser?
While it’s not a strict requirement, having a study abroad adviser can be highly beneficial, especially if you’re planning to study in a foreign country.

My name is Paula Vivas. I’m a second-year joint honours BA history and politics and international relations student at Royal Holloway, University of London. As a student ambassador at Royal Holloway, I meet many prospective students who are eagerly awaiting their A-level results but are often terrified about not getting into university.
