How Studying Abroad Can Benefits You

How Studying Abroad in High School Benefits You
in College
2
1. Studying abroad  teaches you necessary life
skills

• While you will be living with a family, you may
  have to do more chores than you had to do back
  home.
• While you're there, help around with the cooking
  and learn some new recipes you can take back with
  you to your home and college.

Studying abroad teaches you a foreign language

• This is an obvious benefit of being abroad
• In a world where speaking another language is a
  highly sought-after ability, you can market that
  trait in your application for a job and for
  university.
• Join High School Program and see the world while
  you're young and learn more about yourself.

Studying abroad gives you a sense of what you
want after high school

• Sometimes when you come back from your exchange,
  you realize that you still crave the adventure
  and culture more than what you got. 
• You intend on going to college someday, but maybe
  you need a break from all that to see the world,
  enjoy life, and - forgive me for the cliché -
  find yourself.
• This statement here is applicable to both high
  school and university.

Studying abroad gives you a sense of what you
want after college

• You're still young with your entire life ahead of
  you, but quite often after coming back from an
  Study Abroad High School Program, you may find
  that you want to continue travelling and living
  abroad for the rest of your life.
• You're only exploring at this point, but taking a
  step out of your environment and discovering
  yourself will provide you with a sense of what
  you want to do or study.

Studying abroad teaches you more about yourself

• When you're isolated from your friends and family
  back home with the opportunity to do something
  with your life you've never done before, you'll
  find that you will make choices that you normally
  never would when you're back at home. 
• Don't study abroad to use your experience as a
  paddler for your application to appear more
  cultured.
•  You'll gain something from exchange no matter
  where you go, but you need to go in with the
  right mindset to do so.
