This

essay will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of

this

development in the following paragraphs .

First

of all, studying overseas has many advantages. One of them would be the ability to open up to new educational methods. Teaching strategies vary from one place to another and while some are excellent, others face many difficulties due to limited budgets or the lack of resources. So choosing to get a degree abroad will have a positive impact on both the student and the native country in the long term.

Furthermore

,

this

experience widens the person's perspectives and exposes them to new cultures, enriching their knowledge and life experiences. To illustrate

this

, many countries,

such

as France or USA, offer multiple scholarships for their graduates to encourage them to study overseas.

However

,

this

development has some drawbacks. Most college graduates refuse to return back to their homes after getting their degrees, causing ,

consequently

, the loss of smart and educated youth because their native countries have invested large budgets into their primary education. An example to illustrate that would be my home country, where most people who have studied abroad did not come back to work here and prefered to stay overseas which is considered a big loss for the government.

However

,

this

tragedy should push the countries suffering from it to come up with strategies to motivate the active youth into returning back home after graduating. To summarize, the positive sides of

this

phenomenon outweigh the disadvantages. I personally think that high school graduates should look for opportunities to study abroad because it will have a positive impact on their education and life experiences,

therefore

enriching their personalities.
