Why do you think Bentley students should pursue an international education experience?

I think Bentley students should pursue an international education experience because of the wide exposure to new cultures and perspectives. Studying abroad allows Bentley students to experience a new culture and new daily lifestyle. This can help broaden their perspective and understanding of the world, as well as develop cross-cultural communication skills. Exposure to diverse perspectives will enhance critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

Why do you think Bentley students should pursue an international education experience? 

Students should pursue an international education experience because this once in a lifetime opportunity will enrich their life by allowing them to step out of their comfort zone. This kind of experience is important for students’ self-discovery, open-mindedness, and adaptability skills. Through challenges and adventures abroad, they can gain a better understanding of themselves as they make independent decisions while being responsible and keeping in mind all possible options and scenarios. The students will experiment with new ideas, cultures, and places, and will learn to adapt to their surroundings. Thus, an international education experience is beneficial as it will help them grow as individuals.

Why do you think Bentley students should pursue an international education experience? 

One of the most impactful experiences of going abroad that I believe is oftentimes overlooked is having the opportunity to learn with completely new perspectives. Your university or program might look completely different than Bentley, and your classes will most likely be filled with people you are not familiar with at all. Learning in this completely new environment can stimulate growth and allow you to further your education in a new light. Not to mention you will also be learning a ton of new things outside of the classroom as well.
