If it’s not a strain on your or your family’s resources, then 100% go. Your degree will still be from your American school, and you’ll get credits. The experience will make up for any issues you have with education (unlikely anyway, especially with the way Abbott and company are ruining the public universities in Texas), both for your resume and your actual development as a person. Travel broadens your horizons and exposes you to different ways of living, even if only slightly. Hell, the “slightly” is in some ways one of the most important parts, because it really reiterates that people are people and they’re just trying to live.

I did a three week summer program in Brussels twenty years ago, and even that was an incredible learning experience. There’s something about having to get into a routine in another culture that makes it so much more impactful than tourism.
