7 reasons to study abroad

Many students ponder on whether to study abroad or not. Studying abroad for a bachelor, a master, or even a student exchange program offers many advantages to the students that cannot be obtained through other means.

A very common reason for someone to study abroad is to gain a high quality education unavailable to their country. In addition to this, a student can benefit in many other ways, some of which are listed below:

• 1. Career

  
  In this ever more interconnected world the life experiences and personal connections from studying abroad can give an edge to a job applicant.

• 2. Foreign Language

  
  By speaking a foreign language every day and interacting daily in a foreign environment students complement and accelerate fluency in that language.

• 3. Leadership

  
  There is a great opportunity for leadership development through interaction with different people and cultures.

• 4. Personal Development

  
  There are many opportunities for personal growth and development by gaining invaluable experiences that strengthen self-confidence.

• 5. Broaden world view

  
  By immersing into a different culture firsthand the student can develop a deeper understanding for that culture.

• 6. Experience

  
  Just the experience of living abroad is invaluable by itself. It is a great privilege to see the every day lives of people of a different culture.

• 7. Travel

  
  Living in a foreign country facilitates travels to other adjacent or nearby countries, thus allowing someone to visit even more places that the cost of visiting would have otherwise been prohibiting before, and get acquainted with more cultures.
