The Positives of Taking Your Studies Abroad

Studying abroad can literally and fundamentally change your life.

We all know the benefits that a good quality education can bring. We can also appreciate what a joy it can be to travel throughout our beautiful planet. Combining these two will reap even more rewards.

Studying abroad allows students to fully immerse themselves and integrate into a foreign culture, which is often strikingly different from yours back home. When this experience includes developing local language skills in order to communicate effectively with your new friends and classmates, you will gain an even broader and lasting understanding of the world around us and those who live in it.

And speaking of getting to know new people, the time you spend with others during your studies abroad will enable you to form connections that often produce lifelong friendships with people from different backgrounds and cultures and who also share your interest in international education.

While studying abroad is great for your personal development, it can also be advantageous to your professional future. When you grow as a person during and after your experience abroad, you are also enhancing and expanding your employment prospects in what is an increasingly intercultural world.

You can choose from many lengths of study abroad programs, and even shorter programs of a few weeks or months, if they are well-designed and managed, can be quite enriching. Thus, both short-term and long-term options are available in order to suit both your academic requirements and personal ambitions.

All of the above benefits can be achieved while doing something that you love and while experiencing a completely new part of the world! Studying abroad can take you to places you never would have even dreamed of visiting and would not otherwise have had the opportunity to know at a deeper level.

EEAbroad offers a number of academic programs that combine all of these benefits and more! This includes our Summer in Havana program, where you can study alongside students from a wide variety of backgrounds and different countries at the prestigious Universidad de la Habana in the vibrant Cuban capital, while fully immersing and integrating yourself into the colorful culture that this Caribbean island nation has to offer.

Of course it can be scary to step outside of your comfort zone and commit to spending a significant amount of time in an unfamiliar country and culture, but we will help you each step of the way to ensure that you gain every possible benefit from the moment you step off the plane.
