Having international studying under your belts will help you when you start looking for a job. When you are applying jobs that deal with international clients, etc, you can use your int'l experiences and relate to how you can be an asset to the company.

I think just the experiences and making you see everything in a different way/perspective is one of the most valuable advantages for studying abroad.

To me, if you study abroad long enough where you can fluently pick up a second language, i think that's just so useful.
