“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.”
- Mark Twain
In today's world, there are nearly endless opportunities for ways and places to study, and it can be overwhelming to make a decision on which direction to take. Studying abroad is a significant undertaking, but the benefits are great and numerous; just a few of these are:
Much of your future will likely depend on your resume once you are out of school, and everyone is looking for any competitive edge possible. Luckily for you, studying abroad is usually seen as a great bonus which makes you stand out from your peers, as it demonstrates proficiency in foreign language skills, proves the ambition to realize your goals, and shows you have an open, well-rounded, broad mind with life and cultural experience. One study has shown that students who studied abroad are 25% more likely to earn more than the average of their peers, and 97% find a job immediately out of college.
Expand your view of life, the world, people, and places. As Mark Twain's quote above says, experiencing life in a new country is the greatest way to change your whole perspective and appreciate the details of what you do, and do not, have. After living abroad, even if it is only a short time, you will find yourself thinking and realizing many things which you never even considered that you may not know. You will find your new perspective and knowledge affecting every aspect of your life in new, positive ways.
Make friends from all over the world and connections that last forever.As part of our programs you will have the option of staying in student residences and meeting people from different backgrounds that are in the same phase of life as you. Also, our Local Coordinators are people that have traveled and experienced studying abroad themselves, and understand every social and cultural aspect of your particular situation. They are going to accompany you in the process of adaptation as a local guide and friend!
If you are seeking excitement and adventure, few things can entertain like living in a new country. Your stay with Elite Cultural Exchange is far more than attending class in a new environment; activities, tours, performances, and more are on the menu to give you moments which literally last a lifetime. Your college years are one of the most special and defining periods of your life; do not let them become routine, and the memories blur together. Instead, make the most of them by seizing a once in a lifetime opportunity of studying abroad, and cement the college years as your life's greatest.
