Students typically speak of their experiences abroad as “life-changing” and count their international experience as one of the most rewarding features of their college careers. They not only advance themselves academically, but also acquire a mature view of our complex world. The benefits of studying abroad are many. Here are a few:

Special academic opportunities. For all students, but especially for those with an interest in area studies, attending a university abroad opens up a lot of academic options: courses not offered at Princeton, access to research materials, and contact with foreign scholars and researchers in particular fields of interest. Foreign environments can also provide a kind of living laboratory for original research that can only be conducted on-site.

Foreign language competency. The best way to become fluent in a foreign language is to go to a country where the language is spoken. The ability to read and talk in a foreign language benefits the scholarly work of all students and is a skill that is increasingly valued in all professions.

Preparation for careers with an international dimension. Today’s workplace is increasingly global and requires knowledge and experience that transcends (超出) national boundaries. Students who have studied abroad can prove to possible employers that they can handle themselves in new situations and have experience interacting with people from other backgrounds. Students may also develop professional relationships that continue long after the study abroad experience is over.

Cross-cultural competence and understanding. Spending time abroad allows you to test your abilities to cope with the challenges of living in another culture as a participant rather than a tourist. Living in another culture exposes you to different views about world events and your own country—deepening your understanding of your own culture, yourself, and the world.

Improve decision-making and problem-solving skills. Students studying abroad find themselves in new situations all the time. When students convey their needs and thoughts using new language skills, they gain confidence. These skills are helpful in other aspects of life, both personal and professional.

Test your interests. While studying abroad, especially on a field-based program, students can often take their interests on a more specific, applied direction. For example, they can try field research and interact with professionals working in fields of interest to them.

Make new contacts. Students form a large network of people while studying abroad. Some students may call upon their in-country professional contacts soon after the program’s conclusion; others stay in touch with homestay families for decades; still others form lifelong friendships with their peers(同龄人). These relationships can be deeply expanding.

It’s an annual argument. Do we or do we not go on holiday? My partner says “No” because the boiler could go, or the roof fall off and we have no savings to save us. I say you only live once and we work hard and what’s the point if you can’t go on holiday. The joy of a recession(经济不景气) means no argument next year—we just won’t go.

　　Since money is known to be one of the things most likely to bring a relationship to its knees, we should be grateful. For many families the recession means more than not booking a holiday. A YouGov poll of 2, 000 people found 22% said they were arguing more with their partners because of concerns about money. What’s less clear is whether divorce and separation rates rise in a recession—financial pressures mean couples argue more but make splitting up less affordable. A recent research shows arguments about money were especially damaging to couples. Disputes were characterized by intense verbal(言语上的) aggression(侵犯), tended to be repeated and not resolved and made men, more than women, extremely angry.

　　Kim Stephenson, an occupational psychologist, believes money is such a big deal because of what it symbolizes, which may be different things to men and women. “People can say the same things about money but have different ideas of what it’s for.” he explains. “They’ll say it’s to save to spend, for security, for freedom, to show someone you love them.” He says men are more likely to see money as a way of buying status and of showing their parents that they’ve achieved something.

“The biggest problem is that couples assume each other know what’s going on with their finances, but they don’t. There seems to be more of a taboo about talking about money than about death. But you both need to know what you’re doing, who’s paying what into the joint account(共同账户) and how much you keep separately. In a healthy relationship, you don’t have to agree about money, but you have to talk about it.”
