There is no way around it, one of the many wonderful benefits of study abroad programs is that you may grow and evolve as a person. No matter your experiences, you may emerge from the experience with the strength, confidence, and certainty of a global traveler. Even if you face challenges, disappointment, or failure, you may have learned and experienced things that you wouldn’t have had you stayed in the confines of your home. This, in and of itself, makes you a stronger, more confident, and more certain person.
