Please indicate your opinion of this individual and his/her chances for success. Keep in mind that studying and living abroad places new and different demands on students. Please express any reservations you have in advising this student to study abroad where adaptability, tolerance, self reliance, persistence, sensitivity, emotional maturity, and academic ability will be very important.
