More global perspective on things. Experience how others live and compare/contrast to life at home and in other places. Learn new political systems and ideas and practice a language. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
I learned to never have expectations, to be much more flexible, learned how to be much more independent, and gained a greater and richer acceptance for multiple types of cultures. It was ABSOLUTELY worthwhile. A student - Providence College View Entire Review
