Undergraduate & Bachelors Abroad!

Can you get a valuable international perspective by studying in your home country? (Discussion)

It is becoming increasingly important for students from around the world to gain an international perspective in their education. Cross cultural experiences are very valuable for building your skill set and also for making you more attractive for top global employers.

I think that it is much more difficult to get a good international perspective by studying in your home country than if you study abroad. You can take international courses, different language courses, or make friends from other nations and cultures and this will help but nothing beats studying abroad!

What do you think?

Living in an extremely multicultural nation like Canada, I still think it’s true.

I mean, I got to know a lot of different people and culture from all across the globe, but I still don’t think I can fully understand them without having lived in their shoes and home country for a while. International experiences are becoming more and more important due to the globalizing economy, so even going abroad for an exchange term can make a difference in your perspective. I hope I’ll get that opportunity at some point.

Travel, in itself can help make people whole. To combine travel and education can give the youth who choose a great head start in life. If given the opportunity, I would gladly study abroad, even at my age and experience.
