Answer 4

Study abroad is pretty much any situation where you leave your country, as a student, and usually, you bring that credit back to your home school.  It usually involves leaving your parents.

In High school, it's generally referred to as exchange, and the theory is, if you take time abroad, you are supposed to house a student at home, but it doesn't really always work that way.

In University, it's often referred to as a "Junior Year abroad", but some sophomores and many older students do it, too, and there are many more programs than the full year ones.  

You can even participate in Teacher exchanges.  I have a friend who is leaving shortly to go to Australia for a couple of years on a Fulbright teacher's exchange.
