I studied abroad for 6 months in Bangkok, Thailand, and traveled all over Southeast Asia during my time there and found it to be one of, if not the most, rewarding experience of my four years of college. I also spent Spring Break time visiting friends who were studying in Europe. In addition, I realized I have a love of traveling, and it has piqued the interest of many of the interviewers I have met with over the past few months. For credit or for pleasure, it is a nice way to stand out. The college I recently graduated from has made 2 out of the following 3 items necessary for incoming classes in order to graduate: internship experience, service learning weekly hour requirements, or a study abroad program. It is a fantastic idea that all colleges should look at exploring. I completely agree with the impportance of traveling.
