​Recently a large increase can be seen in the number of students going abroad to
study
.
This
 is partly because people are better off and partly due to the diverse range of different grants and scholarships which are available for overseas students.
Although
 the foreign
study
 may not be advisable for some because of personal or financial reasons, the majority of students benefit a great deal from overseas
study
. Studying in a foreign
country
 has a number of benefits.
For example
, it could give students access to knowledge and facilities
such
 as libraries and science labs which are not found in the
student
’s
country
 of origin.
Furthermore
, students may have access to a wider range of courses in foreign countries than they do at
home which
Accept comma addition
home, which
 could help them to find one that fits more closely with their individual interests and requirements.
On the other hand
, studying abroad can have some drawbacks. These can be categorized into personal and professional.
Firstly
, studying abroad obviously requires the
student
 to leave his family and friends for a long period, which may make the
student
 lonely if he is unused to spending time away from his support network.
Secondly
, studying in a foreign
country
 is almost always more expensive than studying in the
student
’s
home
country
.
Moreover
, studying in a foreign
country
 means the
student
 will probably be studying in a foreign language, which may limit his performance and make studying and exams more stressful. In my opinion,
however
, the drawbacks of studying abroad are usually only temporary since the
student
 will return
home
 after a year or two of foreign
study
. Students who
study
 abroad usually become proficient in the language quickly and they have lots of experiences and meet lots of people that they would not encounter at
home
. What is more, the benefits of the international network of friends and increased knowledge will
last
 the
student
 all his life and is likely to make him more successful in finding a job.
