A Myth About Study Abroad - (Part 1)

For students who excel with a challenge, pay attention. During the past 40 years, domestic business has become more connected with the global economy than ever before. A new generation of students are venturing abroad to expand their education and realize this potential. Studying abroad may be an option you never thought of and you may be thinking, why me? The answer shouldn’t be why, but rather why not?

Many college students believe the myth that only business or language majors will benefit from time abroad. That conception is just false. Medical Majors will benefit from traveling to a reputable institution abroad. Just in Mexico at Universidad Autónoma de Guadalajara is a major program dedicated to producing Doctors, Nurses and Practitioners. In addition to the quality education you will receive, picking up a second language is sure to sharpen your professional resume!

How about studying the exotic wildlife in the forest of Costa Rica or Panama? If you’re a biology major, this may just be a reality. You can get up close and personal with the fauna you’re study in school rather than just reading about it. If you are interested in History, why not see it in person? Studying in Europe would put you in the middle of a very rich culture. Being in the E.U. would allow you to quickly and cheaply visit any other member country you want to on a weekend. Heard about the Leaning Tower in Italy, the Swiss Alps or any number of the other plentiful places to see?

I think I’m getting my point across and I hope you are getting excited. After all, your years in college are supposed to be exploratory. Use them to accomplish what you’ve always dreamt about but never thought you could fit in at School. I will write another article about the financial aspects, the ones that seem to hold everyone back. This will show you how it is quite possible and your school may actually help pay!!

Until then: Dylan
