College Students Traveling Again
Posted on October 23rd, 2006
The number of college students studying abroad decreased sharply in recent years, which experts blame on the terrorist attacks in New York City in 2001. Students traveling both into, and out of, the United States were affected. But now, the trend is reversing. Students are out there experiencing the world again.
The findings reflect both eased U.S. travel restrictions and a greater sense among U.S. students of the value of international expertise, according to the institute, a New York-based education and training organization.
“… students are realizing that to be a professional in the 21st century, it's going to be an advantage if you have language skills, if you have cross-cultural skills, in the countries that are the hot economies in the world,'' said Peggy Blumenthal, the group's executive vice president.
