1. Can I study abroad as an incoming
freshman?
* It is becoming
more common for first year college freshman to spend their first semester or
year studying aboard. Studying abroad as
a freshman can help you develop valuable skills that can be helpful in any course
of study and can equip you for future and career success. Studying in another
country also means experiencing new ways of life and developing a greater
understanding of people and different cultures.
As a freshman, learning more about the world around you can greatly
expand your way of thinking and help you analyze problems, which can be
beneficial throughout the rest of your college career.
2. What if my college or university
doesn’t offer a study aboard program?
* Don’t worry if
the college you are planning to attend doesn’t have a study aboard program, because
there are ways to be able to do it. You can always talk to neighboring colleges
or universities to see if you can be part of their programs to still receive
credit for your institution. It is recommended that every student looks around for
the best study abroad program that fits your academic
needs and desires.
I agree that studying abroad is highly beneficial. It allows students to experience different cultures and ways of life, gaining more knowledge on how to solve certain situations. I personally want to study abroad in different countries and be exposed to new languages because it would allow me to communicate and help many more people than if I just knew a single language.
