In the past, when students did a university degree, they tended to study in their own country. Nowadays, they have more opportunity to study abroad. What are the advantages and disadvantages of this development? You should use your own ideas, knowledge and experience and support your arguments with examples and relevant evidence.

It is a true fact that during the past centuries, pupils mostly go to local universities whenever they want to study higher

education

but in

this

developing era, it's common to go abroad for

education

.

Although

many may see it as a positive phenomenon, it's not a trend without drawbacks. Both the merits and demerits will be discussed before a positive conclusion is reached. The

first

and foremost advantage is that in industrialized nation students get a chance to obtain advanced level tertiary

education

under the guidance of highly skilled professionals. Every

country

's

education

system has some unique courses So mostly students visit another

country

to join courses which are not present in their

country

.

For instance

, Every year a significant number of pupils go to Canada to acquire sophisticated knowledge in the medical field as Canada is eminent for its medical research.

Second

worth mentioning advantage is that shifting to other countries for

education

help students to learn some new languages

such

as French, English, Spanish, etc. to be more specific students who live in another

country

also

become familiar with their language, heritage value

hence

decrease language barrier between nations, in resulting more global harmony and social-economic growth.

Moreover

, In other countries they live far from their families and manage all their necessities individually,

therefore

the become self-supporting adults as well as individual thinkers which makes them venerable to society.

On the other hand

, studying in another

country

is

also

has a negative aspect. Students live separate from their family in communities which have distinct culture and language. It is commonly witnessed most of the student face mental issues in initial months when they move to a strange

country

which has cultural differences

consequently

, they feel loneliness. People from that culture may not always ready for the folk of another

country

due to colour and cultural differences.

For example

, Indians always face discrimination when they move to the

country

of people, have an extremely fair complexion.

Besides

this

, most of the students forget their cultural values after living in a well-developing

country

. They prefer to settle down there, after completing the

education

. which has a detrimental impact on their families as well as on their nation. In conclusion, even though studying overseas have some drawbacks,

however

, young minds get chance to explore different origins, culture as well as advance knowledge in a particular field which is highly beneficial for the individual as well as social-economic growth, which may help to strengthen the social fabric of diverse nations.
