How to Study Abroad for a Year
The traditional life path is: college, internship, full-time job. There isn’t an automatic spot built into that schedule for traveling overseas. If you want to see the world, you have to make it happen. That is what makes full year study abroad programs such an effective and positive way to incorporate travel into your life, while still gaining incredible bulletpoints for your resume.
Studying abroad can be one of the most enriching and educational experiences of your college career. The benefits of being immersed in another culture, with new perspectives and opportunities, will leave students more open-minded, independent, and ready for anything. Even though any length of time abroad is worth it, all of these perks are hugely amplified when studying abroad for a full academic year.
Counting down the days until winter break, one semester can feel like an eternity, but a three-month term might be shorter for a study abroad program. Many international universities run on different academic calendars, and since one-semester programs have to accommodate both schools, the semester could be cut short. This means cramming classes, travel, and activities into a small amount of time. By completing a full year abroad, students actually have time to adapt and enjoy the local culture. Students follow the international university’s terms, which translates into built-in holidays and breaks for travel opportunities!
