Pros:
Learning a New Language:
Now this one might seem ridiculously obvious for those who apply/are looking at applying to International colleges, as it is most likely one of the main goals of going to a foreign country. It is a lot easier to learn a language when you are constantly surrounded by it IF you put the effort into it.
International Student Life:
One pro that I definitely did not even think of when I applied for international colleges is the OTHER kids who also decided on my same path and applied for international colleges. There are kids from all around the world, even from countries that I had never even heard of before that come to my school, and they have taught me so mucha bout their countries and cultures. Have you hear of Zimbabwe? Because I hadn't, but now I have two friends from there, how cool is that?! It is definitely one of my favorite perks of going to an international school, and if I ever visit any of their countries, I know I'll have somebody to show me all the local specialties!
Exploration:
This one is pretty self explanatory.
Open Mindedness:
I've talked to so many study abroad students about this and we all say the same things where even when we go back to the States or wherever we came from, we're able to deal with a ton of different situations and people with a more level-headed mindset than we were able to before just because while we were in an international college we were exposed to so many different ways of thinking and living. Of course this isn't a benefit JUST from attending international colleges but I do believe that doing so definitely expedites the process :)
