For many reasons. What they want to learn may only be or best be available in other countries. For example, they may want to learn a foreign language, which is best done in a country that speaks that language. Students travel as part of foreign exchange programmes. Part of the courses they do may require doing activities in other countries. Students travel to volunteer their services, purely voluntarily or as part of their studies. Outside of their studies, a lot of students like to travel. They are usually young and free, and it is a good time of life to see a bit of the world, before they settle down into life with jobs and families. Students travel to get work in other countries. So for all of these reasons, and many more, students travel to other countries.

The cost of travel insurance depends on your age, duration of travel and the countries you plan to visit. Premiums increase with age and with an increase in the duration of your stay. Also insurance for travel to the US and Canada costs far more due the high cost of medical services in these countries, than for travel too an Asian country.
Many travelers mistakenly believe that they do not need to worry about medical coverage when they travel to Europe on vacation. They think that because many European countries offer universal healthcare that they will be able to receive free medical care during an emergency situation. In fact, only citizens are eligible for these medical benefits, and visitors from other countries will still need to pay for any healthcare services they receive. If you are traveling to Europe, make sure that your personal health insurance policy or your European travel insurance covers your medical costs so that you will be protected in an emergency.
