Studying abroad is thought by many students to be the best way to get a good education. On the other hand, some students believe that studying in another country has many drawbacks.
It is argued by some
students
whether studying overseas is beneficial for them to get access to a good education
or it is still plagued by numerous demerits that should not be overlooked. Although
the latter view
can be true to some extent, in my opinion, the former view
seems to be more reasonable on account of some reasons below.
On the one hand, there are several explanations why advocates support the side that pursuing overseas education
has many drawbacks. First
of all, it is believed that studying in an exotic country, students
may find it challenging to deal with cultural differences, even cultural shock in the first
stage. This
means that international students
are likely to suffer from psychological problems, thus
negatively affecting their academic performance. Besides
, there is no doubt that the expenses for studying abroad are much more prohibitively expensive than domestic education
. Therefore
, such
a choice can put a financial burden on some families, especially those who have a mid-range income.
On the other hand
, I am in favour of the view
that the optimal way to get a high-quality education
is to study in another foreign country owing to some arguments. The first
one is that educational systems in developed nations such
as Finland, Australia or the USA are supposed to be by far better than those in developing or underdeveloped counterparts. This
is because those developed nations have made many significant breakthroughs in technological domains as well as adopted innovative ideas in teaching and learning. Consequently
, students
who can have an opportunity to study there can be better educated by knowledgeable lecturers and supported by state-of-the-art technologies. In addition
, despite the cross-border differences regarding cultures and traditions which international students
may struggle to overcome these difficulties for a short period of time, the majority of them, indeed, still succeed in adapting to life in an exotic country.
In conclusion, I am more inclined to the view
that studying overseas is the best way to have a good education
, yet its downside should not be ignored. However
, the aforementioned drawbacks seem not to be major concerns as they can be easily handled.Submitted by Uyen Dinh on
