Why Every Student Should Study Abroad
Just 20 minutes ago, I had a conversation with my little brother, who is currently studying at Khalifa University in Abu Dhabi. I asked him, “Has anything changed in your life since you moved abroad?” His response was both simple and profound:
“In Uzbekistan, I was a king. But here, I am responsible for every single thing for myself.”
This single sentence perfectly captures what it means to study abroad. Many of us grow up in the comfort of our families, where everything is taken care of—meals prepared, bills paid, and problems solved with the help of our loved ones. But once we step into a foreign country, reality hits: we become responsible for everything.
Studying abroad is not easy. You will struggle, feel lonely at times, and face challenges you never expected. But is it worth it? Absolutely. And I firmly believe that every student should, at least for one semester, experience studying in a foreign country.
