More And More Students Are Going Abroad For Higher Studies. Do the advantages of studying abroad outweigh disadvantages?

It is true that the number of students who choose to

study

overseas has increased rapidly in the past few years. Studying in a foreign

country

has its own positive and negative sides, but I personally believe that it has more benefits for the students themselves. On the one hand, some believe that the choice of studying abroad has some disadvantages. One of the reasons is that studying overseas will cost more than studying in the home

country

. It is necessary for parents to spend more money on airplane tickets, accommodations, foods and clothes,

besides

tuition fees and uniforms. Another reason is that students might be unfamiliar and uncomfortable with the culture, environment and language of the new

country

. As a consequence, it might have a negative effect on their mental condition and academic performance. Adopting in a new environment often hampers the natural flow of

study

for many students and some students do not continue their

study

to earn money when they are abroad.

On the other hand

, another group of people thinks that studying in another

country

brings so many positive aspects to the students themselves.

Firstly

, by studying in a new

country

, students will have a chance to learn new languages and new cultures.

Secondly

, students will learn about how to live independently, like clean their own rooms or doing the laundry by themselves.

Thirdly

, they could make new friends with people from other countries and get familiar with multicultural environments.

Lastly

, it is a fact that in certain countries, international graduate certificate gives additional values when the students search for jobs. In conclusion, it is undeniable that the preference of studying in a foreign

country

has its own benefits and drawbacks. Despite all the disadvantages, I believe that it has more advantages for the students themselves,

therefore

young people should be encouraged to

study

in a new

country

.

Although

some of them might have difficulties with the fees, but many international scholarships are offered these days.
