Every year an increasing number of students choose to go to another country for their higher education. Do you think the benefits of this development outweigh the problems associated with it?

These days, the number of
students
 who want to study at foreign universities is rising gradually. Some people may think that there are more advantages of
this
 trend than disadvantages,
however
, others may believe that the drawbacks outweigh the benefits of
this
 development. In my opinion,
although
 it can be found the positive aspects in the trend, there are slightly more negative aspects in student’s taking higher education in the different
countries
 from their own.

 different
countries
 is knowing the different cultures. For
students
, diversity enables them to find their identities and,
as a result
,
students
 will be able to understand a wide range of phenomena from different viewpoints.
Furthermore
, when
students
 go back to their home
country
, they would return their knowledge to society.
However
,
conversely
, there are some risks that
students
 who have studied in foreign
countries
 start to work in the
country
. Specifically, if
students
 cannot utilize the knowledge which they learn a foreign
country
 in their home
country
, they are more likely to remain in the
country
 where they took a higher education
Furthermore
, people who have a strong ambition to study abroad might want to develop their skills in the better environment, and typically, an environment in
countries
 which can offer a higher education would be better than
countries
 which cannot. In conclusion, I believe that the drawbacks of studying foreign
countries
 slightly outweigh the benefits, in terms of returning profits to home society.
