More Americans studying abroad
Record numbers of American students are studying abroad, with especially strong growth in educational exchanges with China, the annual report by the Institute on International Education found.[...]
Over all, 241,791 Americans studied abroad in 2006-7, the report said, with sharp increases in the numbers going to Argentina, South Africa, Ecuador and India, and declining numbers going to Australia and Costa Rica.
If I was supreme dictator of the United States, and had unlimited funds, I would require every college student to spend a semester abroad, with an emphasis on countries outside of Western Europe. I loved studying in Russia and the UK, and I wouldn't trade it for anything.
