A better question to ask is, “Why not?” There are SO many great reasons to go abroad. You know the old saying, “Travel is the only thing you buy that makes you richer”? That’s exactly why you should do it. When you study abroad, you have the opportunity to learn about another culture firsthand, form global friendships, and practice a foreign language.

There are many reasons why study abroad programs are becoming so popular. For most international students, the appeal is likely to be a combination of gaining a high-quality education, experiencing immersion in a new culture (and often a second language), gaining a global mindset and expanding future employment prospects.

The unique challenges you face will help you grow personally, gain a better understanding of the world, and improve your job prospects after graduation. You’ll return home as a global citizen who is more independent, mature, and tolerant of cultural differences.

The choice of where in the world you want to study is not always an easy task. In addition to their own personal interests that you should think about practical issues such as costs of studying in that country (both tuition and living costs), your graduate career (is there a good job market?) and their safety and general welfare.

You should also think about what kind of lifestyle you want to have during their studies. You want to live in a big city or a small college town? Would you like arts and culture at the door or the world-class sports facilities? Whatever your interests, be sure to match your study destination to really give you the best chance to love his international experience. We will help you to select the right country for you.

The sooner, the better! When you start early, you’ll have more time to research in depth and find a program that suits your personal and academic needs. You’ll also have more time to decide what type of experience you’re looking for in terms of location, immersion, duration, and cost. It is best to start planning at least one year and no later than one semester before you actually want to depart. Pay attention to application deadlines and apply once you’ve decided on your program (they can fill up quickly!).

The length of time you spend studying abroad will depend on the program and level of degree you’re undertaking. It varies from 1 year until 4 years.

Another option that is often overlooked is the ability to study abroad multiple times. Students who choose to pursue more than one program abroad will often do a combination of semester and summer programs. Some students, however, will choose to spend back to back semesters abroad.
