There is a misconception that studying after graduation once you’re free and able to take as much time off as you want, is the better option when compared to doing a study abroad program. I have never believed this to be true and in fact looked most forward to my third year so I could study abroad, before I had even started my degree.

There is a great difference between travelling and studying in a certain place. This is not to discredit the many things you’ll be able to see and experience while travelling, but simply reiterating the fact that it will never be to the same degree as fully immersing yourself into a certain setting, not as a tourist but as a local student. Studying abroad affords you the opportunity to make friendships that last rather than the simple stopping of a stranger on the side of the road to ask for directions when you’re a lost tourist in an unknown city. You get to learn from their perspective and are taught by teachers who experience things so differently to you.
