@1NJParent I won’t disagree with that assessment. For my daughter, her main purpose of going abroad is to get an immersion experience that helps her get the rest of the way to fluency in another language. I would not have had any use for a study abroad experience personally, but I can go along with it for my STEM kid because she will finish in 8 semesters. She is planning to use that semester to really prep for the MCAT and GRE along with getting rid of some non-stem electives that she has remaining.
