These days, more and more
students
 would study abroad than before, due to a variety of benefits for their own future life and career.
This
 essay will explore the cons and pros of
this
 subject. Let’s start by looking at the advantages of studying abroad, one of the main positive of studying abroad is the access to superior facilities and tutors means that you have the chance to see a side of your major that you may not have been exposed

 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.
