The benefits of studying abroad cannot be overstated. They center on three types of reasons:

• Personal growth
• New perspective on world affairs
• Career enhancement

Study abroad can be an enriching and eye-opening adventure, where learning extends to the world beyond the classroom walls. There is no substitute for living and studying in a foreign country if you want to gain in-depth knowledge of another culture's customs, people, and language. In addition, you will find that living and studying or working in another country can develop important transnational competencies that can be of interest to future employers.
