Beyond affecting career or educational direction, one of the most significant and intangible impacts of studying abroad is participants' increased understanding of their own cultural values and biases. Eighty-two percent of alumni said that they had developed a more sophisticated way of looking at the world as a result of studying abroad. These same individuals were more likely to seek out a greater diversity of friends, and long after their study abroad experiences have ended, they are still finding that it affects their life choices and values.
Additionally, students who study abroad acquire a unique set of skills that distinguish them as future world leaders?leaders who have the understanding and skills to navigate effectively, humanely and positively across different cultures. Although change and living in a foreign culture can be overwhelming at times, it can also put into motion significant personal growth. More than 96 percent of students surveyed indicated that they believe study abroad increased their self-confidence. Over 97 percent said the experience enabled them to learn something new about themselves and served as a catalyst for increased maturity. Jason Thornberg (IES Vienna 1994) wrote that although it has been nearly ten years since he was a student in Vienna, there isn?t a single day that goes by when he does not feel the impact of his experience abroad. "The time [in Vienna] fundamentally changed how I view the world. It has allowed me the ability to view the world and its issues from several perspectives. Secondly, the friendships I made in Vienna, with both Americans and Viennese, remain some of my most cherished relationships."
