Have the urge to see more of the world? To spend a week, maybe two (or four) immersed in another culture? For collegiettes who are craving a global getaway these college years are the perfect time to do so. It may seem that we have a lot to deal with as college students (homework, extracurriculars, internships, etc.), but now is probably the most worry-free we will ever be. So if you need a little extra motivation (or some great persuasive argument points), we’ve got you covered with the points listed below.
1. I do not have a fulltime job yet, a mortgage to pay off, or other people to take care of.
2. It’s cheaper now to travel with all the amazing airfare deals.
3. Showing that I have participated in a program abroad will make me a more well rounded job applicant. It will look great on my resume.
4. I won’t even have to worry about who will take care of the kids! I don’t have any.
5. I can learn to be more responsible and independent before I go off into the real world after college.
6. It will be cheaper now than later because I can stay in youth hostels and do organized trips with great deals like Contiki.
7. I am at a critical point in my personal growth, and this will give me another opportunity to meet new people and explore who I am.
8. I’m not too old to party abroad! I’ll have more fun now than later.
9. I can apply what I learn abroad to my future job and to the classroom. European History will be way more relevant after I visit Europe!
10. This will be the perfect break after a year well-done, and give me more motivation for next year.
