Students should study abroad While costs could be quite high, depending on wear you study, the experience and lessons learned from such an endeavor are invaluable. Discouraging students from studying abroad just because they don't have experience with the culture is circular reasoning. How can a student experience that culture without going there? Just because a student may end up not liking the culture does not mean a student should shirk away from that experience. Students who do study abroad have a higher opportunity for success later in life such as faster employment after graduation and better salaries.
