Studying abroad is not an extended vacation or a break from university studies.
Earlier this week, we asked a couple of random pupils what they thought the definition of studying abroad is. With their and a few of our editors help, we reached a consensus: “Studying abroad is the act of a student
pursuing educational opportunities in a foreign country”. Through the course of time, study abroad has meant a great many things to a great many people.
In fact, the actual meaning of study abroad continues to transform as events in the world unfold. Over eighty years of nation building, cultural and educational reciprocity, and two world wars have brought us to where we are today. Whether it be for language acquisition or volunteerism, degree completion or cultural exposure; the act of studying overseas remains a meaningful and worthwhile experience.
