#university #students #part #studies
As the number of University students who go overseas to
study
 is increasing, people are debating about the advantages and disadvantages of studying abroad. Do the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?
This
 essay shows that
although
 pursuing education in another
country
 is costly and often distracting to students, it is far more beneficial to them due to the new learning and personality development opportunities offered by overseas
study
. Getting educated abroad is helpful in developing personal skills in students. Because students studying in foreign countries are faced with
challenges
Suggestion
the challenges
 of coping with
new culture
Suggestion
a new culture
, norms, and standards, they develop a balanced personality during the process of overcoming these challenges.
In addition
, students learn new ways of living life as they interact with different people who have their own ways of leading their lives.
For example
, in a recent
study
, overseas
study
 has proven to produce well-balanced graduates from among students in another
country
.
However
, foreign
study
 is criticised by many because it is often costly. To pursue education in another
country
, students have to buy plane tickets as well as their own accommodation whereas they can live with their parents in their home
country
 during studies.
Furthermore
, going to another
country
 takes the focus away from studies as they get busy sorting out their day-today matters. If they pursue education in
this
 own
country
, these issues would not be present. In conclusion, even though studying in another
country
y
Suggestion
Y
 is costly and causes focus issues for students, it creates a balanced personality among graduates and offers them new ways of learning about life.
That is
 why, I believe, the advantages of overseas
study
 win over the disadvantages.
