Student Exchange Programme?

Does going overseas for one semester broaden your horizons and make you a more intelligent and knowledgeable person?

My observations on friends who went overseas to pursue tertiary studies.
UK: Clubbing + miss home + profs with funny accents
US: miss home
Aus: Miss home

Well. Some friends came back still the same. Some came home wilder. Some were pretty much westernized completely.

Or is it about expanding networks?

So you go there, struggle to settle in for 2 weeks, after 2 weeks of homesick-ness, settle for 3 months, and come back?

And everyone noes i get damn homesick.

Haha. From my tone you can see that I'm not that interested. We shall see. After all im planning to do my masters overseas anyway. And i'm adi in top 20 uni in the world. Professors are great.

What's there to complain?
