  • Foster independence and interdependence
  • Develop an appreciation and understanding of diverse cultures
  • Allow you to cope more easily with ambiguity
  • Expand your circle of friends far beyond campus
  • Expose you to parts of the world you’ve only imagined
  • Force you to adapt to new situations
  • Open your mind
