<p>why do college students study abroad?
whats the point?</p>
<p>why must you insist on posting the exact same vague questions on so many different boards.</p>
<p>To enrich one's life experiences. To travel.</p>
<p>a) You usually get sick of the college after a few semesters, need a change of pace and scenery
b) Get to travel to some place you've wanted to visit
c) Sometimes cheaper than the college you currently attend
d) Small group of people that travel (if in a university program)
e) Get to test out new language skills
f) Go to countries in which the drinking legal age is virtually nonexistant, other vices and whathaveyou.
g) Get away from it all, get some perspective.</p>
<p>Learn new ways of thinking/education, or a new/international approach to the field you are studying.</p>
<p>experience different cultures/places... why do people want to travel during vacation? why don't they just sit at home? also to experience places of key historical or personal interest.</p>
