If I had to pick one thing, I suppose I'd say the networking opportunities. I could not even put a price tag on the value of my connections. They've literally helped to shape my career trajectory.

Oh wow that’s amazing! I see so many people talk about connections and how invaluable it is. Thanks for sharing!

I did mine abroad - it was a great way to travel and experience something new, while still getting a great degree. I think it's only valuable if you're really clear on what path you want after
