Covering the business of education and training

I should ask my daughters to compare their experiences as students in the U.S.with their experiences in Europe.
They studied in France and Germany.
It's worthwhile just for the languages to study abroad, but there are many other benefits as well.

I'd love the opportunity to study overseas. It's an opportunity to grow in many ways. No one I know who has studied abroad has ever regretted it. Good topic.

I would like very much to study abroad only for a new life experience. It is an opportunity to see other cultures, people, language, habits and the list could continue. It could be worse or better but it worth trying it.

I think it is a good experience for young people to travel abroad for a portion of the higher education. My problem is with the number of so called 'studends' we allow into the US on student visas. I have no problem with reas students coming here, the more the merrier and better for our campuses to have input and participation from foreign students. My problems is that visas are issued to questionable people from countries that sponsor terror. We should be more cautious.

I studied my Junior year in Strassbourg.

It changed me forever.

It 'became' me. It lifted me into another world as a student and a person. It created a basked to memories that no one, I mean no one, could ever take from me.

But probably what it did most, and I didn't realize it at the time )how could I have???) was it put me into a different category of a person in the eys of the world.

I will forever on this planet be able to say that I studied in France.

Think about that. Think about how you become viewed when you can say something like that.

It elevates you...sorry, but it does, whether you want to live up in that slightly rarified air or not.

It's the reason I'm starting a series of blogs and sites about it myself.

That's ho much it touched me.

Yeah, great topic. Kudos.

And Merci.
