Carrying out an exchange with other countries is one of the best things you can do especially if you're coming from a completely different place. Traveling as an international student gives you many advantages, here are some.
Get to know other cultures
Getting to know other cultures is something incredible, from the different dishes you can try to the traditions you can find. It's a way to become a more educated and intelligent at the same time.
Open your mind
Traveling itself gives you a different perspective on things because you travel as a visitor but at the same time you become a resident for a while, this allows you to see things from other people's ideologies. This also gives you the opportunity to expand your imagination and improve yourself as a rational person.
Networking
Traveling allows you to meet people from all over the world and that can help you in the future. Many times a single person can change your course of your life if the relationship is positive, for example with job opportunities or support in your travels (asylum if you are in their country).
Independence
This is the biggest and most important impact you can receive from an exchange.
Realizing that there are amazing people out there but you are more, you'll realize that to survive you only need yourself. This is because no matter what happens you are going to be there, nobody is going to love you more than you love yourself, living in another country alone helps you do that and see it clearly.
