Is studying abroad worth it?

What are you studying? I'm a chef and I had the chance to study abroad in either France or Germany but I blew it before I could get the chance. I regret it now so I suggest you think it over very carefully.

Yes. It's worth it. Seeing the larger world is always worth it.

No it's not
travel on paid time off when you can relax and you have money, don't take out more student loans for this shit you massive chump

There's a difference between traveling and visiting a place, and living there. I spent a year in Germany when I was 18, and it was one of the best decisions of my life.

staying a semester is not living there either, you're just a tourist for a few months instead of a couple weeks

Fair enough. Going for a single semester may not be worth it (Although some people may need the excuse to go someplace new).

If you're going to study abroad, stay at least a year.

I'm going for 5 years to get a PhD. The location has exactly the program and professor I want. Look for what you want to study, because what you do with your life is more important than where.
