Answer 2

Besides my parents, nothing else has shaped me as much as traveling. I've gone on a study abroad every year since I was 12, and each experience has challenged me, and enriched me, and given me strength, confidence, & sooooo much joy. My happiest times have been abroad. I believe it's important to be a citizen of the world, and traveling helps you to be one. You see how different other cultures are, and you're a bit amazed to discover how much we all have in common. You develop a greater tolerance and worldliness. You will have a different perspective on America when you are viewing it from afar. It's just like how if you press your nose against the mirror everything's a bit blurry, but if take a step back you see things so much more clearly. You'll get so much perspective on yourself.

You will learn as much outside of the classroom as you will in it. I love just breaking away from the pack for a while every day and roaming on my own, just observing and exploring and soaking in all that is around me. I've met some of my really lovely friends this way. When you are young, people are just more likely to strike up a conversation with you or invite you to join them for coffee. I have friends on four continents now!

Immersing yourself in the culture is the best way to learn a language, and you'll pick up so much more abroad than you would in a classroom at home. I've also learned so much from my profs. There is less formality in some cultures, like the Czech Republic, between profs & students, and you not only get to learn the subject they are teaching you, but from their personal lives. Learning about, for example, what life was actually like under Communism from a personal perspective affects you in ways reading a book about it ever could. I highly recommend studying in Prague. It's fairy-tale book beautiful, chock-full of awesome ppl including lots of expats, and the schools are great. It's especially a great choice if you're into music, art or film. I also love Cusco, Peru (way less expensive than Spain, and so charming) & Buenos Aires (fav. major city on the planet.)

A college admissions adviser told me that studying abroad looks awesome on your transcript, and I imagine it would help you with grad school or getting a job as well.

If I could, I would set up a scholarship fund to allow young ppl to travel because I've seen how much it's benefited me. I truly think we'd be a more peaceful, tolerant country if everyone left it every once and a while! I would definitely recommend that you go on a study abroad.  You will see and taste and feel so many new things, you'll be amazed, you'll be frustrated at times, you'll learn and you'll grow, and you'll feel liberated and alive, and you'll come back with lots of memories and mementos.

Answer 3

There are a variety of ways you could look at for students studying abroad. I will try to focus on a few of them.

1. Language Abilities

This is one of the most obvious and goes without saying. You can improve your language abilities in both formal and informal situations. You will be able to ''empower'' yourself  by speaking the language to locals and learning all those nitty gritty things that they never taught you in school. However, hanging out with your fellow nationals and not leaving your room wont help you get the most out of this experience, but hey . . . for each their own.

2. Cultural Diversity

The overall living overseas or abroad enhances your ability to be adaptable and flexible. Test-taking is prized much higher in Asia, where in Europe oral exams are common. Learning these skills as a student is much more in a supportive environment than if you were a middle-aged executive stationed abroad with family. But as I previously mentioned, the more you involve yourself wherever you are, the more you'll get out of it.

3. Networking

This is often forgotten with the overall overwhelmingly excitement of being abroad. Meet new people and make tons of friends. You will never know what information they can bring or something they can suggest. Let's say your major is transport and logistics and you get to study abroad in Germany. Meeting people and knowing both the major and smaller companies in Germany might lead to an internship or even a job. Perhaps your instructor in your host country can help you with finding an internship while you are there. And the friends that you meet can be friends forever. You will always have a good excuse to get back to that country. And if you meet a foreigner from a third country - any country besides your own and the host country -  you would then have a third country to experience and discover.

4. Further Education

Being in another country can expand your further education. You might want to look into graduate programs of that country . Many countries are beginning to offer Master programs in English if you still lack some confidence in the local language.  

5. Resume\CV

Sure it looks good but if that's all you wanted then go for it and live it up. For example, lately there has been talk of how some, but of course not all, Erasmus students, go on these programs for the partying. They end up going to Spain and improving their English more than Spanish, and leave after breaking up with their local ''partner''. Remember, you get out of it what you put into it.

Important things to remember

-  don't go abroad because everyone else is doing it.

- Choose you host country carefully. You may have greater culture shock in some countries than in others.  It may be cool to go to Poland for a year but you many want to explain why there.

-  Being diversified and bilingual can improve your chances at some companies. It might not be the best idea to learn Japanese if you want to work at H&M. Swedish might be a better bet, as it would increase your chances of going to its headquarters.

- Learning not so often sought after languages, such as Swahili or Finnish, might hinder your chances at some jobs but open you up to a whole new specialized world of something more specific.

- You might want to look into a magical ball and see into the future. (This is a joke) If you are into Human Rights and think North Korea will soon fall, learn Korean. If you are interested in energy and business, you might want to consider learning Russian. Chinese and Arabic are very sought after at the moment, but consider also learning French in Africa as opposed to Quebec or France.

-  Don't forget also the anglophone countries! Australia and South Africa are amazing countries!

- If you are in the U.S. and afraid of going too far . .  try Canada!

Studying abroad can be a very difficult and expensive choice so think it through and make the most of it-

u can get more then india in other countries. main thing is that if u'll study in any reputed country n after that u'll do 4-5 years job there den u can come back india den u'll be forigen return so u can get more then u think in india too

Answer 5

It's good if the county is economically stable. You'll learn how to be independent and know their lifestyles. Exploring is the best way of learning. Understanding their language is very challenging. So, if you have positive insights about studying other countries, you could do better. But hardships are still there at first because adjustments are needed.
