**Studying Abroad** : 02-06-2010

Great article posted on about.com regarding studying abroad, below is the copy of the article.

A few years ago, I endorsed study abroad in the most meaningful way possible: I let my own child have the experience when she asked to go to Ireland for a semester. I knew that the benefits of traveling while studying are so enormous that it was worth the cost in cash and parental stress.
I knew from my own study abroad experience that the opportunity was too valuable to pass up. There is no substitute for seeing da Vinci's art in person, or touching the intricate carving of a 500 year-old door in England. Aside from the expanded cultural awareness you experience, there is a new and greater self-awareness that comes from being in a foreign land. Students who study abroad quickly discover the need to budget and exercise self-discipline--or get very hungry. It's hard to learn that in the comfort zone of one's own neighborhood.

But I had a secret reason for letting my own child go. I suspected that, once she got a taste of the world, she would want more. In wanting more, she would have a reason to work hard in school, finish college, and excel in her studies--because that would be the only way she'd be able to continue exploring this vast world. And it worked!

But it's not enough to know you should study abroad. You should also know that you can do it, if you really want to:
