Everyone I know that's study abroad has found it incredibly useful, but in order to make the most of it you need to attend a college that has a program exactly similar and hopefully as well established as yours. What makes the experience worthwhile and noteworthy on resumes is what you do outside of the classroom in the country. Just going to class isn't going to cut it. You need to volunteer/intern/work and most importantly travel. It costs a lot, and for good reason. The experience is once in a lifetime.
