Why Study Abroad

Study abroad can be one of the most meaningful things you can do while in college. For some students it is one of the most transformative experiences of their lives.

Every single person who works at Global Learning Semesters has studied abroad, from Paris to Palau and from London to Nicosia.  None of us would trade in that experience and phase in our lives for any other.

Here are our top reasons why we think most students should study abroad while in college.

Top Reasons to Study Abroad

  • Broaden and deepen yourself as a person
  • Learn about new possibilities and options in life
  • Make friends and meet people from a completely different background than you
  • Prepare yourself for a career in our increasingly interconnected world and economy
  • Show potential employers that you are self-started, motivated and interested in taking on new challenges
  • Learn how to adapt and succeed in a new environment
  • Take one of the few opportunities most people ever have to live in a new country
  • See and live in the places that you know only from movies and books
