  • Be challenged in your faith as you learn what it means to live it out in an unfamiliar setting
  • Make friends from around the world
  • Gain an international perspective and develop skills
  • Become more conscious of yourself and cultural perspectives
  • Break out of your academic routine – take a chance by challenging yourself
  • Learn a language through immersion
