1.

See the world: The choice of the country to study may be because you have already
visited that place before (either on vacation or for some other reason) or because you
want to know it. So, studying there gives you the opportunity to visit places that are not
on the radar of tourists and discover libraries, cafes, places to relax where the local
population spends their free time. Studying abroad is a unique opportunity to travel and
see new places. In addition, you will not only know the place where you are going to study
but you will also be able to travel on weekends and holidays to nearby cities and towns.
2. Education: Studying abroad means experiencing a new way of teaching.
Educational systems, evaluation criteria and systems or the style of communication
between students and teachers change in many countries. These slight variations help
open the mind to new ways of learning.
All careers or schools do not have the same methodology in one country as in another.
Studying abroad will help you to know and work under different methodologies. On the
other hand, you can take extra classes that may not exist in the place where you are
currently studying.
3. Take in a new culture: By studying in another country you get to know practices, activities
and traditions of a place different from yours, ranging from what the classrooms are like to
the perspective you can have on your career. Also, take into account that there are very
cosmopolitan universities, so they have students and professors from all over the world,
so you not only get involved with the culture of the place where the campus is located, but
you also get to know the culture of your classmates.
4. Hone your language skills: It's no secret: the longer you study abroad, the more fluent you
will be. The sum of the daily classes with the interactions in the real world (every day for
several months) will make your language skills improve dramatically, as well as your
confidence.
Universities and companies want to see official certificates for your language level. If you
study abroad for a longer period, you will have more time to work towards internationally
recognized language exams that will help you achieve your academic and professional
goals.
5. Career opportunities: this world is very competitive. Everyone is looking for that
something that makes your resume stand out. If yours includes a complete command of
the language, it will open doors for you to achieve the professional career of your dreams.
In addition to bilingualism, your time abroad will also help you develop the cross-cultural
skill set that companies around the world are looking for.
6. Find new interests: When you live in another country you will identify that there are other
ways of seeing and experiencing the world different from yours. You will discover and
understand that there are other lifestyles, other ways of relating, other ways of expressing
feelings such as: love, forgiveness, friendship and respect for mentioning a few. This will
enrich your life and make you a more open and respectful person to the difference.
7. Make lifelong friends: An important part of studying in another country is the friendly
relationships that are formed in the classroom. In addition, on a professional level, you
have the opportunity to meet different international profiles and form networking links,
with which you further expand your employment or company formation possibilities.
8. Personal development: Not only will your communication skills be strengthened: one of
the greatest benefits of living abroad is that it will also increase your self-esteem. You are
going to know a different culture, make new friends and learn to manage a budget, all this
will make you become an independent and self-confident person.
A new and unfamiliar environment can clearly show you what you are good at and also
those areas where you have room for improvement. On the other hand, there is no better
teacher than necessity. Because even if you travel with certain needs covered
(accommodation, study center, etc.), a multitude of situations will also arise in which you
will have to take action or small decisions on your own.
