Why should I study abroad?
Experience a Foreign Culture:
It’s one thing to see a photo of other cities, or to read a travel memoir about the bustling streets of those cities. Visiting foreign lands in person, however, is an entirely different experience. When you study abroad, you participate in the day-to-day life of a new locale, gaining a first-hand understanding and new appreciation of the culture.
Benefits of gaining new perspective on the world:
Study Abroad programs take students through a cultural and academic experience from the inside out. Students explore issues related to globalization, development, poverty, and social inequity from many different perspectives. When they return to the US, students almost always see things differently: They can put themselves in someone else’s shoes more easily and have a more nuanced understanding of the world.
Pursue an Activity You Wouldn't at Home:
Studying abroad is a chance for you to be adventurous, explore the unknown, and try your hand at activities that may not be offered in your home state. For example, if you’re studying abroad in another country, you can try numerous adventure sports. No matter what you choose, it’s sure to be an unforgettable experience.
Learn How to Be in Touch Across Cultures:
It’s important to acquire the skills to communicate across cultures – and this means understanding more than just a different language. Studying abroad helps you become familiar with the customs and traditions of the country in which you are studying, in addition to the language. By interacting with locals, you can develop an appreciation for the culture and its differences from your own.
Connections for Your Future Life:
Consult your school to see whether they help you find internship placements abroad. Sometimes, you can even get credit from your home institution. When you’re finished working abroad, be sure to ask for a certification to testify that you studied abroad, and to add to your college application, or to share with future prospective employers.
More Marketable to Colleges:
There’s a reason admissions officers like seeing international study experience on a résumé—it’s one of the greatest ways for students to acquire the kinds of life skills that can’t be learned in a classroom. Studying abroad shows initiative, maturity, and independence.
