Pursuing an education in a country other than your own not only offers you the possibility of studying at some of the best universities in the world but also provides you with the experience of living in a different country, and immersing yourself in a different culture. After all, studying abroad shouldn’t merely be about your academic education.
Studying abroad should provide numerous personal and professional benefits too, ultimately not only making you a better candidate for companies eager to hire interns and graduates who are flexible, multilingual, and comfortable in a range of situations, but also a more rounded person.
And a big part of this ‘added value’ are the extra-curricular activities offered by educational institutions – the societies, associations and groups that the best schools offer.
