Study Abroad Worth it?

Studying abroad is a great way to experience a new culture and lifestyle in a different country while furthering your education at the same time.

The dorms are holding a study abroad workshop on May 3, 2011 at 7:30pm-9:30pm in the Los Alamitos Lounge. This workshop will encourage students to take a big step and study somewhere outside the country. There will be participants, that have already experienced studying abroad, sharing their stories and adventures.

I would recommend studying abroad to any and everyone because it will change your life, said Dean Dutro, a junior at CSULB and a communications major, it is worth every penny because you will experience things you never imagined.

Studying abroad is a great way to diversify yourself and meet people around the world. According to the Open Doors Report, published annually by the Institute of International Education, studying abroad has been a progressively growing trend and there was approximately 260,327 students who studied abroad in the 2008/2009 academic year.
