The Benefits of Studying Abroad “The academic and professional experiences that I acquired in Canada are not the only reasons why I encourage people to pursue their studies in Canada. In fact, beyond the solid scientific knowledge that I acquired, it is the multicultural exposure that I cherish the most. My professors were not only teachers but also mentors that were willing to help students in any situation. They taught me the proper way of learning and how to think critically.” Sarah Larsen-Vefring from Germany When you study abroad your education grows exponentially faster than if you stay home.
