It was the most challenging, but rewarding, experience of my life. When I left I was 16 and turned 17 that year abroad. Living or studying abroad as an adult is challenging but even more difficult as a high school student! That being said, how many students get the opportunity to experience what I got to experience? I would absolutely recommend it, but for the right reasons. It is not just an extended vacation, but a year of life abroad. I took my year off as a gap year between my junior and senior years so it did not negatively impact grades and in fact, I believe college admissions view it as a great attribute in a candidate.
