Studying and living abroad can really open a new world to students and it allows them to learn more about the different cultures in different countries as they are studying.

It is best to do it when students are still studying as they have more time compared to a working adult. In all, studying abroad is something that students will benefit from studying abroad as it allows the student to learn things that school does not teach.

If we travel together we can remain together and as a group we can support each other, I could be a pillar for the strength of my group. For my return to BHCC my plan involves; participate more actively in school activities, interact more with students, and especially encourage them to acknowledge that every moment of study abroad, can be twice enriching that stay inside the classroom.

    All Abroad: Why Studying Abroad is Still Vital In America, people can easily find many South Korean students who are studying abroad. The high number of South Koreans studying abroad in America shows, in a roundabout way, how studying abroad has become effective for them such as “the unique experience of living in a foreign country" (Ryu, Kim, and Lee 752).

At that time, I could meet many Korean students who were arguing how studying abroad has excellent benefits that could not be gained unless they walk out of comfort zone.

    Unfortunately, I find that the immense larger part of understudies who don't go do as such essentially out of carelessness: either on the grounds that the idea never truly jumps out at them, or requires an excessive amount of activity. On the off chance that it’s conceivable, do it. It is obviously normal for one to feel fear at the idea of being totally overwhelmed in a society altogether new to their own as well as the long timeframe.

    Many people plan to see the world or to travel at some point in their life and have new experiences but few ever get the opertunity to do so either due to work, school or simple problems in everyday life. The few that do however get the chance to travel abroad and see the world might not be able to do so until they are very old or have retired. Because of this I propose a program that would allow students to see the world while they are still in school, realitively unbrudened by things such as work or worry of money, bills or insurence. The program I have in mind is known as the student exchange program. The student exchange program allows for a student to leave their country of residence and take up residence in another country all while still going to school and studying within the country.
