I’m currently a first semester junior at a SUNY School in New York. I’m also an international student here coming from Asia. Fortunately, I got into Oxford’s Study Abroad program through my college’s Oxford program and have the opportunity to go next semester.
This however, is a very expensive opportunity and will burn a huge hole in my parents’ pockets. I know studying abroad can be good for your personality and for you to grow as a person, but will it at all stand out on my resume? Do employers think students studying for a semester at Oxford somehow stand out a little more than other students in the United States?
Also, is Oxford going to help your case better in comparison to other universities you can study abroad at? Do employers care about what college you studied abroad in, or is going to a cheaper alternative that is not as well ranked going to be a better option for me?
I will really appreciate all help and comments!
