Answer

Hello Alexander,
To answer your question, the additional "to" is unnecessary in this sentence, since it is preceded by "will be able to" at the start of the clause. I have rewritten the sentence below with a couple of other small amendments. The last item in the list, "plenty of other things", needs its own verb. I would suggest either "enjoy", or "do", but the choice is yours!

Students that travel abroad have more opportunities than those who do not. They will be able to learn a new language, make new friends, create and expand their networks, and enjoy/do plenty of other things besides.

Hope this helps. All the best, 
Shae

Answer

This is correct: 
"They will be able to 
learn a new language, 
MAKE new friends, 
create and expand their network, 
and DO plenty of other things".

If this structure and the grammar are not obvious, feel free to ask.
