I thought this article was very interesting. The number of German students that are studying aboard nearly doubled from about 52,000 to 102,000 in just eight years. I thought that this was amazing. It helps that German students could go to different organizations that would help fund it. There was one specific foundation, European Commission, which allows 200,000 students to study abroad. I think studying aboard is a great idea; like that article stated it "enrich their skills and gain culturally from mixing". I feel that studying aboard can only help a person grow. A person can learn so much from experiencing something new.
Wow that is amazing! I think studying abroad is a great opportunity to increase your knowledge of different cultures and also increase your own level of confidence in doing new things or things that you may be uncomfortable with.
