Tons! My 6 month study in Spain was one of the best things I've ever done. Now I'm enrolled at Aberdeen Uni in Scotland.

You become more well-rounded (after you get over the culture shock). Have you thought about choosing a university in America (I assmume you are American) that will allow you to do an exchange program? I did a year and a half in the US, then did the 6 month exchange. Its a big decision and sometimes kids can't handle it--they come straight back.

Study in the UK is a double-edged sword. The quality of learning is much higher. First year UK is equivalent with Third year USA.

Another benefit is the culture--Aberdeen University was built about 2 years after Columbus discovered America! Its a great experience. Just be sure you are mature enough and have enough money (uni is very expensive unless you apply about a year in advance and get a scholarship--but the great thing about the exchange program is normally you just pay the normal price for college in America). I'd suggest talking with some professors at a nearby university who got their degrees overseas.

Good luck!

I forgot the most important part--you'll meet friends from all over the world and have absolutely unforgettable memories. I remember playing soccer on the beach in Spain. There were about 20 of us speaking like 6 different languages--we drew a small crowd! It was amazing!

Studying abroad has a lot of benefits. It will put you in touch with another country, culture, educational system. Above all you will get ample opportunities to meet people of that particular nation, to get to know a lot about them and about their way of dealing with situations and people. You will learn to face the challenges of life and will learn to stand on your feet.
You will also get a chance to take your culture and heritage to the place you go. Your mind will open up as you get in touch with another nation. Most of the Universities abroad offer you an International set-up with students from different countries. It is great to get to know different people and to pursue your studies in an International ambient.
Courage! Go ahead and pursue your desire to study abroad.
