It seems hard to avoid Instagram posts of your friend's study abroad trip to Australia, or constant Snap stories of the food and endless amount of tapas they are enjoying in Spain. Studying abroad is a popular choice among college students all over the world. Sure, you meet new people and it's a great way to learn about new cultures; but have we ever thought that maybe studying abroad in college just isn't worth it?

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but why would one want to study abroad while in college? Before you judge me, yes - I have been out of the country multiple times and I love traveling. However, wouldn't one want to travel at their own leisure and not have the obligation of going to class while abroad and living in just another set of dorms?

Traveling abroad is something that should be done after college once that degree is locked in and you have little worries. Go with a bunch of friends, drink wine and just travel without worrying about that paper being due or the test you still have to study for.

Traveling is a fun and unique experience and everyone should get the chance to travel at some point in their life. But why in college? You are already having so much fun, building connections, living with friends and being away from home; why go further at this point? Once you graduate will you really be in a rush to go to that 9-5 office job? Chances are it's a no. Travel once you get all your crap together and can fully enjoy and appreciate what the world has to offer.
