<p>why do college students study abroad?
whats the point?</p>
<p>If you are studying a certain area or language, it helps tremendously to actually see what you are studying.</p>
<p>Being immersed in a language helps one learn it much faster than learning it in a classroom in America.</p>
<p>It's also interesting, like a vacation. They probably would want to experience a differnet culture and place.</p>
<p>For some majors it is a must--foreign language majors, international relations majors, etc. Study abroad can combine intensive study in subject areas not available at your college or university as well as immersion in a foreign culture/language. There are study abroad programs where you take classes in your host country's native language, but there are other programs where you take your subject courses in English but intensive language study. In an increasingly global world, having some experience living in a foreign country is bound to be more and more necessary to truly be an educted person.</p>
