You know the reasons not to study abroad - money, time, homesickness. But there are so many reasons you SHOULD do it. Here's a list of seven reasons you have to make time in your college career to get out of your university bubble and explore:

1. You'll Meet Cool New People

And not just other study abroad students either. International friends aren't that easy to come by in the U.S., but you're literally surrounded by them when you're studying in another country.

2. You'll Learn About Yourself

As cheesy as it is to say, you actually can do anything you set your mind to. Whether it be solo traveling to Germany or joining a club at a foreign university, you'll figure out what you're really capable of while studying abroad.

3. Travel

Flights are super cheap when you're already in Europe, Asia, South America, etc. Go ahead-spend the weekend in Madrid! You'll still make it to your Monday morning class on time.

4. Awesome Nights Out

Nightlife in your university town might be good, but it's nothing compared to London. Even if you don't like to drink, there're tons of fun things to do on the weekends and nights when you're abroad.

5. Add it to Your Resume

(That's you after studying abroad.^)

Only 10% of college students study abroad, which means it stands out on a resume. In some programs, you can even do an internship while you're abroad. Think of how cultured you'll seem to future employers.

6. Get Credit for the Classes You Take

School credit and the time of your life? When you're studying abroad, you'll get both.

7. Everything's More Fun Abroad

The world is a big, big place. Get out and explore it!
