Explore a New Culture One of the benefits of going abroad is the opportunity to broaden your horizons and learn about other cultures. Where and when else will you ever be able to seize the opportunity to fully engage another culture or put yourself in the shoes of a person from another country? The experience of living in a foreign land will undoubtedly do wonders for your growth into an enlightened individual, perhaps by allowing you to dispel previous misconceptions that you carried about a particular place. Studying and living in a new country can alter the way you view the world, help you to become more open minded, and can help you gain new perspectives on things like academics, politics, social issues, and daily life. Studying abroad is a unique experience that cannot be obtained through traveling or touring a country, which will allow you to learn how things are done abroad in a significantly more nuanced way. Living in a different country teaches you how to adapt to new situations, and we hope that you will return home enriched with a general appreciation of cultural similarities and differences.
