<\/div>\n
\n
    \n
  1. It gives me the opportunity to travel.\u00a0<\/strong>Student exchange will allow me to travel to another country (England) and explore its culture, traditions and beauties in-depth and over an extended period of time. In addition, studying overseas will also mean that I have the opportunity to travel to other\u00a0nearby\u00a0countries. This interests me, as I would like to experience the wonders of the world.<\/li>\n
  2. It allows me to experience a different style of education. <\/strong>By studying abroad, I will have the opportunity to experience a style of teaching that I would not be privy to in Australia. Furthermore, I believe this will give me the chance to see a different side of my journalism degree.<\/li>\n
  3. It allows me to experience a different side of the journalism profession. <\/strong>As noted in the previous point, studying abroad will allow me to experience a different side of my journalism degree. This is especially notable, as journalism has been a profession in\u00a0England for over 300 years \u2013 before Australia was even colonized!<\/li>\n
  4. It gives me the opportunity to gain unique experiences.<\/strong> A lot of my Journalism-student peers have taken a gap year (or gap month\/s), in which they went overseas. They have interesting stories, experiences and outlooks from that year (or month\/s) abroad, and often times, it even resulted in their decision to purse journalism as a career. Student exchange will allow me to undertake a similar experience while allowing me to complete my degree.<\/li>\n
  5. It looks good on my resume.<\/strong> This is especially notable if I manage to pick up any placements or internships while overseas.<\/li>\n
  6. It gives me the opportunity to make lifelong friends.<\/strong> While studying abroad, I’ll meet\u00a0students from my host country\u00a0who have\u00a0backgrounds unique to Australia. This will benefit me, as I could potentially establish long-lasting relationships with unique persons, who could also be excellent points of network in the future.<\/li>\n
  7. It allows me to achieve personal development.<\/strong> Being in a different country will test my ability to function in a variety of new, diverse situations. It will encourage me to be independent, explorative and self-reliant.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
