 I am going to summarize the advantages and disadvantages of getting an academic degree abroad or staying in the home country. There is a lot of advantage to studying in another country. You will be forced to improve your language skills, which you got previously in your primary and secondary school. It is necessary to finish an educational institution and get a degree. You can
also
 meet a lot of new people in the college, and you can be part of a friendly, and diverse community. New friendships are taken; new cultures are known in these years. Students visa can be acquired in the European Union easily, so you just have to make the right decision and pick the university, which fits your imagination best. But like always, there are disadvantages as well.
Although
 you speak more than one language, get a student visa and have your flight ticket in your pocket, you still need some serious funds to start the journey. Sometimes it is difficult to find the financial base, even if your parents are on your side in
this
 decision. Some governments are offering a student loan, or you can find a foundation which can give you financial help. Despite the fact, that you might need to work, or get loans to pay for your student years in a famous university, it is still better for your future. I think the advantages outweigh the disadvantages in
this
 case. I spent more than six months in the UK in the late ’90s, working as an au-pair, to improve my English. I still have friends to keep in touch with, from that time.
