In recent days, many students prefer studying abroad because there is more opportunity
that is
provided to college students. This
essay will discuss the benefits and drawbacks of studying inside and outside of the country
and also
give my opinion on that as well as, examples, experience, and evidence.
When people have more choice of selecting institutions for their future study, most of them would go outside of the country
because they believe that it will broaden their horizons. Studying abroad students have a wonderful chance to learn new things and think outside of the box for example
, people adjust themselves rapidly when they live in an unfamiliar location. Moreover
, they can explore some city’s attractions, culture, tradition, and more importantly the language. In 2018, I was a university representative to participate in a leadership program held in Singapore and it allowed me to use English in my diary life, therefore
, my English skills have improved and that helped me to get a high score in TOEIC test.
However
, there are some negative effects caused by studying outside of the country
that people should realize and understand before they make any decisions. Staying far away from home means that it can be difficult when some unexpected situations happened to their friends and families. For instance
, while I lived in the United State of America, my grandfather had serious lung cancer and I need to go back immediately and that cost me a lot to get an airplane ticket back home when compared to those who study in the country
. In addition
, I found that it is hard to come back and join some of the country
’s festivals or special events because study schedule and time off will not be related to the country
schedule that I came from.
In conclusion, studying abroad or in the country
have their own unique advantages and disadvantages. Studying abroad, people have the opportunity to find something new and broaden their views while studying in the country
, students can go back home, take care and help their loved ones in some unexpected situations easier than someone who lives in other countries.Submitted by rodridthanawat on
