global society. Teenagers see international study as an excellent way
to gain an advantage in applying to college and getting a job.

to fresh ideas and different cultures. It allows students to confront
new and challenging situations, and to try out their decision-making
skills away from their parents and the comforts of home. Traveling

people's coping skills, and, as a result, increases their maturity,
confidence, independence, and critical skills for the demands of the
