Debunking student travel myths that many people believe are true

There are a lot of myths when it comes to student travel. Some people try to tell lies to convince other people not to have a great experience. But the good news is that those people are false. Here are some false myths that people often talk about student travel

Myth 1: You need to be fluent in another language

It obviously helps to speak another language fluently and to embrace another countries culture, but the truth is that you don’t have to. In today’s world we have google translate and other translating apps that can help you get around. Also due to English being the most known and common language in the world, there will always be someone abroad that speaks your language.

Myth 2: Studying Abroad means falling behind academically

Many people as well as students believe that studying abroad can derail your education. This is completely false. There are many international students who do very well academically and don’t appear to be behind in any way. In fact, traveling can actually complement academic growth because you will be in a new environment and will learn a lot of history that isn’t your own. There are also universities that do offer for student to earn credits for traveling.

Myth 3: All student travel is expensive

It is true that some places are very expensive but that isn’t the case for everywhere. There are many places that offer student discounts for transportation, dining, attraction sites, etc. As long as you plan things properly your budget will be fine.

Myth 4: Don’t travel solo as a student

It is better if you go with a group of friends when traveling abroad because it will enhance your experience, but you can still have an excellent experience if you travel by yourself. You have to remember, you are there to learn first then have fun. If you travel by yourself, you will be more focused and you will be on your own time.

In conclusion, traveling abroad has many different views depending on the person. It is important to do your own research and know when people are being honest and when people are lying.
