“Studying abroad” shouldn’t be confused with “studying a broad,” but there are jokes.
 
“I got arrested for studying abroad. The police called it stalking” was posted on Facebook by Steven Buckwaltr on April 15, 2013. “Studying abroad: Spending months in another country. Studying a broad: Spending months Facebook stalking Ashley” was posted on X/Twitter by Eileen Mary O’Connell on August 12, 2013. “Funniest guy you know on here: who called it stalking a woman instead of studying abroad” was posted on X/Twitter by “matt eberflus bloodborne default character” on September 20, 2021. “I got arrested for studying abroad. Stalking is what the judge prefers to call it” was posted on X/Twitter by Bob Kostic on May 16, 2024.
 
“Studying abroad? Take the broad out to dinner before you study her” is a related joke.

Wouldn’t studying abroad be considered stalking or sexual harassment?

I met this American guy at the bar who said he had been studying abroad. I found out later he had been here all the time stalking my Girlfriend.
