only studied in their own countries. Being in another country requires people to push themselves beyond the norm into unusually difficult experiences.

For example

, when I studied in Indonesia and India as a twenty-year-old, I was continually pushed out of my comfort zone into psychological state that were unique and novel and that I had to adapt no matter what. These ultra-challenging experiences are paradoxically the main advantage of studying overseas because they make you grow as a person. The main challenges that students will face while overseas will usually stem from
