Study Abroad
Students who study abroad often cite the experience as a life-changing one that has been a strong positive influence on their education, their career and even their personal life. It is not a surprise then that there has been a 60 percent increase in the number of students worldwide studying outside of their home country since 2000. Students are also studying in a wider range of locations than in the past and are increasingly choosing locations that have vastly different cultures from their own.
