This coming spring semester, I have the opportunity to study abroad in Japan. I already applied with my university and they gave me the go-ahead, but I don't know if I should commit and apply with the exchange university. I haven't been going to university that long (junior only by credits), and I really like the city I live in currently. My parents have also decided to pay for my tuition and I don't want to overburden them with even more things to pay for.
Has anyone else here ever studied abroad? Would it be a worthwhile thing to pursue?
No stay in your home town there's no real benefit in studying abroad
ofc its dope to study abroad
Its not much about the study than its about being abroad though, studying is just making up an excuse
Done it 4 semesters in 3 years, going for my 5th in one month and can't imagine staying in my country for studying anymore.

It's worthwhile if you're looking to master a new language and/or work in the country you're studying in.

The most low-energy thing I have ever read.

You must be great at parties.
That's a no-brainer. I half-assed everything in college, sabotaged the opportunity to go abroad because I'm poor and would have depended on scholarships, and I'm beating myself up about it every day. Be sure to have a good time while you're there, make some memories. Learn the language. Proudly put it on your CV.
