PRINCETON, New Jersey, Jan. 19, 2017 /PRNewswire/ — Whether you’re looking to have a study session on the sandy beaches of California, explore the Australian outback, or enjoy the nightlife with your new friends in London, it’s clear why an increasing number of students are choosing to study abroad. International study gives you the opportunity to explore uncharted territory, to bond with students from around the world, and grow as an individual — all while working toward a valuable degree.

Between 2005 and 2012, the number of students studying abroad increased by 50 percent.
