Why Travel Abroad?
Showing International Travel on your college or job applications demonstrates initiative, maturity, well rounded interests and an inquiring mind. Traveling abroad gives you the chance to explore and experience foreign cultures, interact with others, speak foreign languages and see the world from a different perspective. NETC's LEAP! program transforms sightseeing tours into fun, hands on experiences that make traveling exciting, rewarding and unforgettable. A discussion of Renaissance art, Roman civilization, or the cuisine of South America can substantially enhance a college essay and will create a very positive impression in an interview.
By traveling, students have the opportunity to understand what is truly "American" by seeing and experiencing what is not American. They bring their experiences and insights back into their classrooms and their hometowns, each in his or her own way helping to lessen the knowledge gap between America and the cultures from which many of our cultural, religious, language, and civic traditions evolved.
