The college experience should allow students to start out in a stable and profitable career while also broadening their horizons and introducing them to different cultures and personality types. College helps students transition from adolescence to adulthood and gives them an opportunity to take advantage of myriad different experiences that exposes them to new environments and ideas. One of the best ways for students to broaden their horizons is by taking a semester abroad. Living in a different country helps students improve foreign language skills while immersing themselves in tons of new cultural experiences that will create memories to last a lifetime.
