One college president said a two-week trip to Israel is "worth a year of Bible college".  If that is true, how much more valuable will it be to study the Bible in Israel for a year?  

Build lasting relationships with other students and develop a cohesive united group.

One year of study in Israel will be a valuable addition to your resume
