In the twentieth century, it became more common for people to move about the world for various reasons, including education. Now it is reasonably common for students to go abroad to study for a few weeks or even a whole semester on programmes like the Erasmus in Europe.
This
 essay will explore the advantages and disadvantages of
this
 sort of arrangement. The advantages of international study are numerous and obvious.
To begin
 with, studying abroad can give students more opportunities for academic advancement, language acquisition, and even networking to help them find jobs when they graduate.
This
 sort of experience helps break down cultural barriers between people of different backgrounds, and
also
 allows for the exchange of knowledge and skill between different institutions. In short, there are many different reasons why it is advantageous for
this
 sort of exchange programme to be established. The disadvantages,
on the other hand
, are few and comparatively minor. Of course, students who go to live abroad may experience homesickness and culture shock. They may
also
 find that, if their language skills are
subpar
, they may learn
little
Suggestion
a little
 from their lectures and perform poorly in examinations compared to if they had studied in their home country. From a very different perspective, it is
also
 quite possible that international student exchange could be used in programmes of espionage, as countries may send spies abroad in the guise of students to investigate the research programmes at major universities. In conclusion, there are many advantages to studying abroad from the perspective of students, and
also
 from the standpoint of society and the institutions themselves. The disadvantages are fewer, more minor, and in some cases a bit far-fetched.
