I didn't study abroad in college but Dad was in the Navy so I spent some elementary and middle school time in Italy and Spain.
I feel like even at that young age it opened my eyes to the size, scope and diversity of our planet.
I wish I had gone when I was in college but i got to focused on local schools and local girls.
So i guess what I am saying is make him go even he doesn't want to.
He will thank you later.
