Even in a tough economy, the benefits of a study/travel abroad experience will provide a competitive edge for college admission, in addition to being life-changing for students.
There are many benefits of a study/travel abroad experience for high school students. Such experiences have a huge impact on a student’s life by expanding their horizons and changing the way they see the world. Almost all high school students return from their time abroad with a much larger and in-depth understanding of the world and its many cultures. During their experience, they are able to grow as individuals and receive a global education that is increasingly more important in the connected and “flat” world of today.
