Exchange programs are awesome: As much as it could be hard to leave your country and start an adventure somewhere else, it really gives you the opportunity to grow, learn, explore and come back home with a much more open mind. There are definitely more than 5 reasons why you need to participate to a student exchange program, but we have collected the most important ones.
While traveling abroad you can strengthen your future CV. You can learn a new language or practice one you already know, you can make new experiences and learn about new cultures. You’ll improve your communication skills. Another reason is that you will get motivated and inspired. There is nothing more inspiring than meeting different people and seeing things you’re not used to. This experience will broaden your horizons and change you forever.
Not to mention that it will also make you ten times more responsible. You’ll be alone, away from your families and certainties and you’ll have to manage your daily life in every single aspects. You’ll cook for yourself, budget yourself, do laundry and so on. The cherry on top is that you’ll make friends from all over the world. Following this experience, you’ll want to have reunions everywhere in the world and you’ll keep in touch with those amazing new friends.
