1. It’ll look good on your CV
If you can explore a new country at the same time as picking up the international skills to gain a decent graduate job, then that’s pretty good going.2. Brush up on your language skills
Remember the foreign language skills you picked up in school? No, me neither. Refresh them by studying abroad; you might be surprised at how much you remember.3. Living in a foreign country is completely different to a holiday
You’ll actually get to experience your place of study in the long term, picking up local knowledge such as where sells the best coffee, what tourist traps to avoid and how to get the most out of your new city.4. Discover new and exciting foods
Get more paella /poutine /pierogi /schnitzel /shawarma /chimichanga /katsudon /bobotie /baklava (delete as appropriate) in your life.5. Gain independence
