More and more students are choosing to study at colleges and universities in foreign countries. Do the benefits of studying abroad outweigh the drawbacks

An increasing number of scholars are deciding to

further

their studies abroad. In my view, I agree that the merits of studying overseas surpasses the demerits, and the reasons for both views will be discussed in

this

essay. Admittedly, one minor issue with the increasing trend of pupils going to study in other countries, is the lack of inclusion. Young people who decide to advance their education in a foreign homey find it hard to adapt to the new environment and accustom themselves to the way of life and cultures of the people they find themselves with.

Furthermore

, foreign students take longer to make friends and socialize with their peers in their day to day activities.

In addition

to

this

, people who study abroad is prone to feeling homesick. After a while in a new provincial of studies, students in foreign educational institutions begin to feel lonely

as a result

of missing their former lives and families in their home country. An example of

this

is a research carried out in the University of Oxford, it was published that 95% of new foreign students in America begin to feel homesick in their

first

academic year.

Nevertheless

, I agree that there are various advantages of studying overseas.

First

of all, it increases the employment prospects of

such

individuals. A number of organizations have been founded to employ people with foreign educational experience, because they believe in the academic syllabus and teaching methods of

such

institutions towards grooming competent and qualified people for the jobs.

Additionally

, graduates who

further

their studies in other countries, acquire global network connections. Due to the diverse range of individuals from different countries, people who study abroad have an edge in creating friendships and connections that can birth business opportunities and international support. An example of

this

is the cofounders of a top tech company here in Nigeria. The three founders are from three different countries who found themselves in the same classroom and decided to start a business of their own. In conclusion, I maintain that studying in a foreign nation is beneficial than any drawbacks identified.

This

essay has discussed both views extensively above.
