Benefits of Studying Abroad
Travel the World
Studying abroad is an excellent opportunity to see new cities and countries that you’ve never been to before. Some students also have the chance to venture out beyond the countries that they’re studying in, making it an even more memorable experience.
Improve Your Skills in Another Language
By visiting another country, you’ll also be able to improve your foreign language skills on an entirely new level. By communicating with locals and using the language on a daily basis, you’ll become more fluent than you would in a classroom setting alone.
Experience New Cultures
When you travel to a new location for your education, you can fully immerse yourself in the country’s culture. From the food and traditions to the social environment and local laws, there’s no better way to get to know a country than experiencing it firsthand.
Discover New Hobbies
When you study abroad, you’ll also be exposed to a variety of new activities that you may not have tried back home. You might discover that you have a knack for skiing, cooking, snorkeling, sailing, hiking and more.
Hear from a few of our students about their experiences studying abroad:
My biggest takeaway from this experience was regardless of the differences in cultures and countries, there is always common ground between everyone. For example, I made really good friends with my tutor in Taiwan. Taiwanese and American cultures are vastly different, but despite these differences, my tutor and I became friends quickly and still talk to each other regularly.
The university I am attending here, TU Delft, offers a world-class education in aerospace engineering, much like Embry‑Riddle. My favorite part has been meeting people from all over the world. Having regular conversations with people from such different backgrounds is an educational experience all on its own. I really can’t capture in words just how valuable that is. You learn a lot about other cultures, languages and history, but also your own.
You learn about different cultures, countries and societies, and it helps shape an open mind. It's good for the soul, and all the people you meet along the way teach you something you take with you for life. Budapest, Hungary, was the very last trip we did as a group before the end of the program, and it is definitely the most beautiful place I have ever been.

Be prepared to have a great time and take advantage of being on the other side of the world. I went diving on the Great Barrier Reef in Australia before coming back, and it was amazing. Looking back at the experience, I gained memories I will cherish forever.
