University offers young people a lot of exciting opportunities (机会)—such as staying in bed all morning, eating terrible food and finding out how to use a washing machine!
But that's not all! Many students might also be able to take part in a student exchange program. They are going to study abroad during their course, usually for a term or a year.
These programs are much more than a holiday—here are just a few of the benefits (好处).
① ▲ .
People from across the world take part in exchange programs—you might even meet some you like! Meeting people from different places and with different views is a good way to learn more about the world. Some of the people you meet could become friends for life, while others might work with you in the future.

Companies are always looking for people with knowledge of other languages, and studying abroad is a great way to improve these skills. It will also allow you to experience another culture, adding to your global knowledge. And this is another thing that should look good on your resume (简历) after you finish your studies.
③ ▲
The experience could even help you change yourself. Living in a new country is not always easy, but you will learn a lot about yourself—and life—in challenging situations. Overcoming these challenges might make you better at solving problems on your own. And these are also things you could tell future bosses about.
Fun
Of course, going abroad is not only about education or getting a job—it's about enjoying your young years. It's a great time to use your freedom to try and experience new things!
