Maybe you might not experience right away, but study abroad raises your awareness, and broadens your mind. You will notice that the experience will come again and again many times, i.e. when you make personal decisions, business agreements. It's not only about learning, it's about presence, and living with all your senses something that will definitely last a lifetime.
