About This Quiz

Are you intrigued by the notion of spending a year studying abroad? While some people might be intimidated by this idea, bold folks like you understand that attending an international university has some very important advantages. 

The most obvious advantage is that living in another country makes it easier for you to pick up its language since you're using it every day. That's a skill that can last a lifetime! Another advantage is all the opportunities for independence that studying abroad offers you. If your family is somewhat controlling, or if you're eager to stretch your wings in an environment without familiar faces, studying abroad could be your ticket to truly finding yourself. Finally, many international universities have excellent educational programs. For instance, if you're studying art history, a year at the Sorbonne could add significant prestige to your resume!
