What do students really gain from education abroad… and what holds them back?

This first public report from miXabroad turns student voice into evidence institutions can act on. Based on responses from thousands of students worldwide, the report reveals patterns in motivation, impact, affordability, safety and preparation – with insights that challenge assumptions and highlight opportunities for improvement.

You’ll discover what students told us about:

• Why they go abroad – and how motivations differ across cohorts
• Where students report the greatest impact
• Which destinations feel most affordable – and how that shapes access
• Where students feel safest – on campus and in the local community
• What they wish they’d known beforehand – and what could have helped.
