Would you recommend studying abroad?

Speaking from experience, I would definitely recommend taking that leap!  I would also recommend looking at the offers carefully to make sure that the programs match your interests, budget, goals, current school courses.  I found my two years studying in France invaluable - not only for the language, but for opening me to a different culture and way of life which I would never have known otherwise.  You learn so much from interacting with people from other cultures.  Whether it's a summer program or a semester/full year, the benefits can be felt for a lifetime.

I had the opportunity to study abroad in London at University of Westminster. This leap was not only so much fun; it changed my life forever. I met lifelong friends, studied under brilliant professors and had the invaluable experience of seeing the world. It might seem like a leap and that plane ride will be scary, but when you arrive, wherever you go, you will never look back with an ounce of regret. Go for it!

Yes, by all means! Anything you do outside your comfort zone (your hometown or home country) will essentially enable you to learn twice as much as twice as fast! The experience will also give you transferrable Life skills which are incredibly important in the new job market out there. You're also likely to be able to pick up an additional language and the network of folks you will make will also help you in the future. There are countless of great reasons why you should do this.
