"Even if you don't think you are eligible for scholarships look around, ask questions, and apply. There is a lot of scholarship money set aside specifically for studying abroad, and a lot of it goes unclaimed. Research the country you are going to ahead of time, especially if you are going to be there for a semester or year. The more you know before landing, the less culture shock will affect you and the sooner you will be able to adjust to a new routine. Branch out and befriend local students. Even though it may be easier and more comfortable to stick with your American friends, there is a good chance you will regret not getting the full immersive experience once you return home."
Aikira Cowden, South Korea, 2014 - 2015
ADVICE FROM THE EXPERTS
"If you're studying abroad, I encourage you to go to a place that you aren't as familiar with because it will make the experience that much more rewarding. You'll learn a lot about yourself, and it'll push you to become a more well-rounded person overall."
Libby Stoops, the Netherlands. 2015
"Living with a host family is a wonderful experience. It provides a comfortable environment to learn a language and other aspects of a culture. Take advantage of the time you have with your host family."
Dylan Jacobs, Costa Rica, 2015
"Step outside of your comfort zone! Allow yourself to be challenged, say yes when people invite you to try new things,and approach your new surroundings with an open mind."
Ben Ale-Ebrahim, Tajikistan, 2014
"While you're abroad, take advantage of every opportunity you have to experience the culture you're in. Make new friends, try new food, study a new language - these will be your most memorable experiences!"
Andrew Doerflinger, Brazil, 2015
It is easy to get sucked in the
this easy to get sucked in the endless abyss of smartphones, smartwatches, and all the other technology, with all of their apps and glory. Make sure that you take time to get outside, value something more than the 'likes' it'll deliver, be mindful, breath in air on a different continent. The world is filled with endless opportunities far outside these future machines that soak up so much of our time. Forget them at home every once and a while. Go see and do wonderful things, but don't get too caught up in taking pictures. What's the point of the Louvre or the Sistine Chapel if you just look at it from behind a screen once you get there? Have fun!"

Former Kansas point guard Aaron Miles is back with the team, according to a University news release.
Miles will join the staff as the assistant director of student-athlete development, although the move could be short term.

Miles attended the University from 2002-05 where he finished atop the boards in
With Miles on the team, the Jayhawks finished with a four-year record of 110-28, going 54-10 in Big 12 play. In Miles's first season, the Jayhawks went a perfect 16-0 against conference foes and advanced to one of two Final Fours that Miles would play in during his four years.
Since that time, Miles has spent time in the NBA D-League, NBA and Eurole-

ague. Right now, though, he said he's focusing on learning and helping out the players.
At 32 years old, Miles is far from being the most experienced member of the basketball staff, but he isn't the youngest. Director of Basketball Operations Brennan Bechard, who graduated in 2009, holds that distinction. Miles is also younger than assistant coach Jerrance Howard, 35, who played for Bill Self at Illinois.
