Spending my year at the University of Georgia was by far the best year of my life. I went out of my comfort zone, experienced a new culture, and learnt so much; about myself and life in America. My advice to anyone else thinking about studying abroad is: just do it! It is so rewarding, and you never know where it’ll take you

Research shows studying abroad enhances qualities like emotional resilience, confidence and determination.
You're more likely to be in work or further study six months after graduating after studying abroad.

My experience abroad also helped me land my dream engineering graduate role at an incredible company! During the interview they were very interested in the challenges I faced, the experience I had and how quickly I adapted to a new environment and culture, so I would 100% say an experience abroad does make you stand out.

I can confidently say that I am a better person after my experience of studying abroad. My motivation to excel in my studies has grown, my confidence has grown, I’m more open-minded to trying new things and I want to explore new cultures. The experience has given me a taster of the other opportunities in the world, studying abroad is just the beginning.
