To get a better understanding of study abroad, I interviewed Hailey Weaver from the study abroad office at Saginaw Valley State University. Hailey Weaver is a study abroad peer advisor (Weaver). She has been working at the study abroad office for seven months (Weaver). She is pursuing a bachelor’s degree in graphic design (Weaver). I asked Hailey questions about what I needed answers to help me decide if I want to study abroad. The best advice she gave me was determining which credits I would be able to earn while studying abroad (Weaver). She said, “You would choose 12-18 credits you would want to take at Saginaw Valley State University for that semester and take those classes overseas with you.” Hailey also mentions this is the best time

Travelling provides a way for creating relationships and experiencing new cultures, while escaping the hardships of daily life.

I have always wanted to travel during college to study, volunteer, or both, and the study abroad programs and scholarships pertaining to the Honors LLC will allow me to achieve these dreams. I believe traveling to new places is an unparalleled method of learning, as traveling exposes you to ideas, customs, and mannerisms that no textbook can ever teach. In today’s global society, being aware of other cultures is crucial from a personal, business, and societal standpoint.

This meaning students leave and go to study in another country.So students may ask, why sould they go to another country to study what you can study here?

Students studying abroad are experiencing a new culture in first hand also allowing new ideas to flow and showing them things they may never see any other time. Another for students to study abroad is taking advantage of traveling. So many people will not have the opportunity to travel to these exotic places and study something they will live there whole. Studying abroad gives the opportunity to experience the world in a whole new way. Students will be introduced into new customs, religions, and get to see museums and historic landmarks of there location of choice. Also while staying in the country of choice students are not limited to staying in that country. They are allowed to visit neighboring countries as well. For instance,a student is staying in Europe, the student is allowed to travel to Barcelona, Manchester, and Rome. The final reason for studying abroad is for career opportunities. After students come back from there learning experience they will have a new outlook on culture and life perspectives. These attributes give students a bright future from

Throwing oneself into an entirely different culture for a few weeks a year, is one of the most intellectually gratifying things I have come to experience. It exposed me to the fact that there is more to life than meets the eye. Accepting its complexity is almost as important as understanding what makes it complex. My visits to Poland have opened my one dimensional mindset, and allowed for more complicated reasoning. Traveling also forces an individual into strange situations they are unaccustomed to, and shows that not everything can be learned in a classroom. It teaches politics, economy, history, geography and less general things such as the ability to explore, grow, and make mistakes. They are left with the satisfaction of doing things they never knew they could

Studying abroad, which has become a common phenomenon, can be a fun and meaningful experience. Many university students are interested in studying abroad because it gives them an opportunity to explore different cultures and broaden their horizons. As Mark Sherry, Peter Thomas and Wing Hong Chui argue in “International Students: a Vulnerable Student Population,” the goals that students pursue international study are often to acquire different ways of learning and to improve cross-cultural understanding, which helps them gain self-confidence as well as maturity (33). This experience turns out to be beneficial to those who study abroad. Nevertheless, when students are surrounded by a wholly new environment, many problems that hinder their

Opportunity to travel abroad: traveling to another country enables you to get a complete picture of the culture, it also helps to enhance your interpersonal skills as well as your communication skills and it enables you to appreciate new customs. (San Diego State University, n.d.)

When coming to college the words “study abroad” is thrown around frequently to the students. If you stop and pay a little attention you can really see the positives to studying abroad. The Italian Life and Culture program at Meredith College can really help influence students in benefiting to all of the educational, personal, and social aspects of studying abroad.

First and foremost, from personal angle, study abroad enables students to achieve high level of maturity and independence very quick. This is because they are being away from their support network like families. It may seem daunting but in the other hand it is actually a precious chance for the students to sharp their own skill and gain some independence. For instance, they have to buy the groceries by themselves which maybe it is their first time doing so. Students also have to deal with many problems when they study abroad like adapting to the new environments and lifestyle. So from here, they have learnt how to deal with problems. Apart from that, study abroad may also rapidly advance the student’s language skills especially English. Being surrounded with the native speaker and people that don’t speak the

Studying abroad has been the most rewarding experiences of my life. I have been fortunate enough to study abroad twice during my time as an undergraduate. I spent six months in Melbourne, Australia, and I am just finishing up a month abroad in London, England. I have learned a lot about myself, and being abroad, through both of these programs. I do not want to think about how different my life would be if I did not get to go abroad twice. Throughout my two study abroad trips I have compiled a list of tips that would have been helpful for me to know ahead of time. However, if they can help someone else when they go abroad, then I will not feel too bad about it. In next few pages I will relay some of my tips that may help you when you travel to London, or anywhere, on a study abroad trip.

Not many people get the opportunity to travel, let alone travel outside of the country. I was given the chance to travel to Italy for school and I made sure to take advantage of it. I can confidently say that my experience abroad changed me as a person. My academic, personal, and professional outlooks are more clearer than they’ve ever been. I’m first going to give a brief summary of my trip and my experiences, and then I’ll go over what I was able to take out of my trip personally and academically.
