This article makes the NAFSA Conference in Minneapolis sound as if though the only reason it exists and for universities to be interested in the topic is for capital gain.

Studying abroad is an amazing life changing experience that broadens one's horizons and opportunities to succeed in the ever shrinking global marketplace. Assuredly worthwhile.
