at home.

In addition

, a student will learn self-reliance and a sense of independence to test their ability to adapt to diverse situations. On the negative side, it should be pointed out that not all

students

can thrive away from home and family supports. Take a foreign student as an example, whose native language is not the same as the host country's language. Not only he or she has to study hard to understand the lessons in a foreign language, but

also

he or she may need to do a part-time job in order to support and pay his tuition which makes it overwhelming for some of them. Another drawback is that

students

may suffer from culture shock and find it hard to adapt to a new culture.

This

often leads to homesickness and in some cases a sense of isolation. To sum up, there are both pros and cons of studying abroad which make it not an easy choice for all the

students

. Personally, I think the benefits in terms of personal growth outweigh any negatives.
