Benefit #2: Academic Commitment
It makes sense that once school-age students are abroad, they are far more likely to reinforce commitment to studying a foreign language, and broaden their subsequent educational experiences.Learning a foreign language in today’s globally connected world gives students an incredible edge as they enter college and beyond, increasing job opportunities and creating desirable candidates for college admissions, scholarships, and even internships.Graduate programs look very favorably on those who have studied abroad, recognizing that the experience leaves a positive impact on academic success, problem-solving skills,adaptability, and an improved attitude to toward multiculturalism.
