Whenever traveling on a vacation or studying abroad, you're bound to create some type of friendship with a new face. This is more common, though, when studying abroad. When studying abroad, you're gone for an extended period of time, without having your friends and family there and needing someone to spend your extra time with. Creating new friendships and networking with new people, especially in another country, is a great experience. While it is great to create new relationships while abroad, you must also be smart about the relationships you make.
The benefits of making new relationships are obvious. You have people to hangout with, create networks to potentially help your future, and a person to keep in touch with once you have returned home. The downfall is letting yourself get too attached or too romantically involved. Sure you may find the love of your life while you're overseas, but don't let this idea cloud your common sense. Don't get sexually involved either, you don't know what repercussions could come from that as well.
Above all, just use your common sense and enjoy your time you have while overseas. Create new friendships and stay in touch after you've come home. You never know how these relationships may help you in the future!
