do you believe studying abroad helps you learn?

Answer 1

I am not sure it "helps" you learn, but the experience of being in a foreign country and living in and observing another culture is certainly a worthwhile and rich experience. If you are learning a foreign language (to you), the very best way to learn is through total immersion, and living in the country and being forced to speak the language, will most definitely help you learn more quickly.
I hope this helps.

Answer 2

Only if you are not afraid to experience the culture and what the other country has to offer. If you stick to the comfort of the company of other foreign students, you never go beyond the nostalgia for the country you left behind, and because of that, you never learn anything about the country you are living in.
That is just a terrible waste of time and a crying shame, yet surprisingly, some international students do this because it's safe.
I have studied abroad in Germany and in the US, and both experiences have been very rewarding. I got to learn two new languages, visit awesome cities and museums, and meet all sorts of very interesting people.

Answer 3

Definitely. I've lived and studied in London, Paris and Turin. You learn about other cultures, their teaching styles and educational systems. You also learn another language and how to deal with a variety of situations (for instance, it took me 3 weeks to get a telephone in Turin b/c of all the red tape!). If you have the opportunity then I would definitely take it!!

Answer 4

Yes, especially if you're studying the language or culture of the place you're travelling to.

Otherwise, make sure you get out and about enough to appreciate the culture - make the most of it - that's the whole point.

Answer 5

If you make use of the cultural opportunities presented, yes. If you just go to school in another country simply because it's in another country, you are wasting your time.

Answer 6

yes

Answer 7

yes

Answer 8

no
