A study abroad program is a process in which students go to a foreign educational institution to study, interact, and live there. A study abroad experience provides students with the opportunity to learn in a different cultural environment, improve their foreign language skills, and broaden their international perspective. Studying abroad is an important life experience, both as a learning process and as a journey of growth and self-discovery.
