A Few Reasons for Studying Abroad
• Studying abroad is a life-changing experience: you’ll meet new people, learn about new cultures, learn another language, see someplace new;
• You’ll learn about yourself and become more independent and confident, able to handle new and different situations;
• It gives you a new perspective that is invaluable in learning about education;
• Have something to talk about at job interviews—STAND OUT to future employers.
