Salzburg College in Brief
Study abroad is one of the most valuable educational experiences you can have as a student. This is especially true now that America and America 's economy are so closely tied to the international market and global issues. A good education provides us with the skills and information we will need in our adult lives. For many of us, familiarity with America and life within US borders will not be enough for the kinds of lives we want to lead. Although information is easily accessible via the Internet, real understanding and intercultural awareness are not available as a one-click download. Actual immersion in the daily life of a foreign country is a unique opportunity. Study abroad has also proven to be the most effective way to open yourself to new perspectives, develop your communication skills, and help you to become more independent and self-confident. What is more, study abroad is amazing for the memories and friendships that come with it - some of which stay with you all your life. Besides: international study, internship, or language proficiency are excellent stand-outs on your resume when you are competing for a job after college!
