“Advice for Parents: Frequently Asked Questions”
(by William Hoffa, Academic Consultants International)  

Study Abroad: A Parent's Guide by Bill Hoffa (Published by NAFSA: Association of International Educators) is a great resource for parents and families of students either studying abroad or considering going abroad, especially during times of heightened security.  

This is the first full-length book specifically geared to what parents want and need to know about study abroad. It assumes that while students themselves, working in conjunction with campus advisers, bear the primary responsibility for deciding whether to study abroad and for choosing the program that best matches their academic needs, learning styles, and personal interests, informed parental involvement and support are essential before, during, and after the overseas sojourn.  

The book may be ordered from NAFSA Publications link through the NAFSA homepage (http://www.nafsa.org ) under Professional and Educational Resources.
