Studying abroad can be a life changing experience. It can open your eyes, and give a new perspective on life. It is said that students who study abroad tend to have more confidence, better grades, and are most likely to graduate from college. Traveling abroad can teach you a lot of things: one lesson is often you learn about tolerance. Travel teaches tolerance: both of yourself and of those around you.

How Traveling Abroad makes you more tolerant

Tolerant Of Yourself

Studying abroad allows you to become more tolerant and accepting of yourself. It allows you to become more aware of yourself and aware of the impact your actions have on those around you. You become less prone to judging yourself and start to accept that you don’t have to be like everyone around you.

Boost Self Confidence And Independence

Another thing that traveling abroad can do is boost your confidence and independence. It allows you to do and think things for yourself. You are given the opportunity to shine and if you take the opportunity you will shine brightly.

Learn Another Language

Traveling abroad also helps you to learn another language, or even two! Meeting people in different countries who do not speak your language can be frustrating but you begin to see that your language is not the only one and that if you visit another country, it is you that should attempt to communicate in the language of the country, and not those who should speak your language!

Tolerant Of difference

Studying abroad while traveling can help you to become more tolerant of difference. The people you are going to meet are from different backgrounds and cultures and when you fully respect this you develop tolerance.
