More and more students are choosing to study at colleges and universities in foreign countries. Do the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?
It is true that the number of students who wish to study abroad is rising every day.
Moreover
, the growing popularity of the foreign education surpasses threats of a financial burden and other disadvantages bound to Linking Words
this
education. In my view, there are more advantages than disadvantages because of the new exposure students get while travelling abroad as well as due to a particular academic knowledge they can get only when studying abroad.

this
disadvantage. Linking Words

On the other hand
, there is not only a cost bound to the studies abroad, but Linking Words
also
a detachment from friends and family members that can really feel the pain. Linking Words
Although
, the students obtain a new experience, possibly better quality of life and an access to the academic products of own choice, it is sometimes hard to feel away from home. Linking Words
However

this
aspect can be outweighed by the possibility to find new friends and close ones. Linking Words
For instance
, statistical studies show that a Linking Words

In conclusion, there are of course some disadvantages associated with the studies in a foreign country. Linking Words
As a result
, there are more advantages that exceed them and that are more valuable and precious.Linking Words
