10 Reasons to Study Abroad

            This summer I had the amazing opportunity to study abroad in Cork, Ireland (3 hours South of Dublin). It was my first time out of the country and to say the least I was absolutely terrified. I got on the plan in Chicago by myself to start my adventure. I got off the plane in Dublin, passed through customs, picked up my luggage and sat in the airport thinking what in the world have I gotten myself into. After a week of tears, calls home, and realizing this is a once in a lifetime experience I fell in love with the country and all the amazing aspects studying abroad had to offer. Our world is continuing to become more global. Therefore why not study abroad. Here are 10 reasons why you should study abroad:

11.     Studying abroad helps you learn about yourself
22.     Studying Abroad makes you have a whole new perspective on the world
33.     Future employers are extremely impressed
44.     You form new and amazing relationships
55.     As an individual you become more independent
66.     The food is INCREDIBLE
77.     You will be able to network with more people abroad
88.     You will able to take thousands of breathtaking pictures
99.     You grow up and change in many ways
110. You will see the world in a new perspective

Why not? Even though I was scared at first I have never regretted my decision. And you won’t either! Go on adventure and you will have the time of your life!
