Ask any adult about their college experience. Those who went abroad CANNOT stop talking about their amazing experience, and those who did not go abroad say they regret missing out. Although, of course, every decision has its downfalls, the positives of studying abroad most definitely outweigh the negatives. Here are 10 reasons why:
1. To learn a new language.
If anything, this will look amaze on your resume.
2. The DANK food.
Pizza from Italy... name something more authentic.
3. To integrate with a different culture (duh)!
We could all use a bit of worldliness.
4. To leave your comfort zone.
Going to another country for a few months is a huge adjustment, but it will get you to expand your bubble of comfort.
5. To stock up on insane stories.
These are the memories you will be telling for years.
6. To learn new things about yourself.
Corny, I KNOW... but being in another country could open your mindset.
7. To take INCREDIBLE pictures.
Your Insta game when abroad will be on point.
8. To drink.
Although some may already be 21 and this doesn't really apply to them, but pretty much anywhere except the U.S. you can legally drink at 18. GO BE LEGAL!
9. To meet people that aren't American.
You can learn a ton from people of another culture...open your mind.
10. To have a blast.
Make the most of your travels!
If you're someone who was on the fence about committing to study abroad, I hope this shed a little light on all of the amazing perks that come with international studies!
