Without a doubt my year abroad has been one of the best experiences of my life to date.
Dannika O'Gorman, LCS Graduate
I spent my year abroad teaching in a primary school just outside of Paris. I embarrassed myself thoroughly on several occasions, and made lots of friends (mostly under the age of 10).

Studying abroad is a great opportunity.  It will probably be one of the most valuable, challenging and rewarding experiences of your life.  You'll learn much about yourself as well as about the language and culture of your host country.  Maybe you'll be forced out of your comfort zone, but you'll build up your self-confidence like never before and it will be your passport to making lots of friends from all over the world.

What's more, having a year abroad on your CV is a real advantage. A year abroad can give you real work experience as well as the opportunity to become fluent in your chosen language.  You'll increase your chances of getting a job abroad, or a better job at home.
