Deciding why to study abroad may differ for each person, but for the past 60 years, participants point to these as some of the greatest benefits they have gained from their YFU experience:

• Understanding people from different backgrounds and cultures by sharing their daily lives;
• Making lifelong friendships;
• Becoming fluent in another language;
• Gaining a new perspective on themselves through the “lens” of a different culture;
• Acquiring skills to aid in the pursuit of global career opportunities.
  

YFU has 60 years of experience administering educational exchanges, and has acquired a deep understanding of cultural exchange and how best to facilitate cultural learning for all its participants.

As the saying goes: “It’s not over – it’s just beginning!” Your YFU experience will continue to influence you for a lifetime, forever affecting how you think of yourself and your view of the ever-changing global community.
