As our modern world is more connected than ever, beginning to go abroad, getting to know new cultures and other languages early is crucially significant. This is why studying a year in a foreign school or college should definitely be compulsory.

To be named first would without doubt have to be the learning advantage as you don’t only learn the stuff you are being taught at school, but also the language. Of course, you might miss several things in classes at home, however, this is worth it.

Furthermore, travelling somewhere alone helps students become independent as well as being self-organized. Those are skills which can only be acquired by experiencing new situations to deal with yourself.

In addition, one also has to take the new social connections being made into account. Strangers become friends. This is an event every student should be able to live through. It is about the feeling of being welcome which is then brought back home.

All in all, learning about other people’s ways of living, becoming independent as well as making new friends all over the world are too important to be left out. To ensure that that doesn’t happen making going to school abroad compulsory is essential.
