Many students decide to further their study abroad. What are the benefits and drawbacks of studying abroad?

Nowadays, more and more young

students

prefer to

study

abroad. Some people treat

this

as a positive trend,

while

others do not think so. In my view,

although

there are several understandable reasons why

students

choose to

study

in a foreign university or college, I believe it is a negative trend. On the one hand, some undeniable benefits actually could be brought by studying in a foreign area. The first one is independence.

Students

who go to a totally unfamiliar country and

study

there for many months to years would have to learn how to live alone and deal with everything in their lives by themselves.

This

means that these young people may have more chances to face loneliness and isolation than their old friends who

study

in domestic universities. In

this

case, these international

students

would depend more on themselves to solve every possible issue.

Therefore

, they may experience more hard times when going abroad to

study

and live.

However

, the drawbacks are

also

obvious when looking

further

into the consequences and achievements alongside their overseas

study

. The paramount importance is a broader horizon of the world and deeper insight into the prevalent phenomena and current situations in different societies worldwide. These experiences and the ability of critical thinking could provide more opportunities to these new employees when they finish their education in universities and turn to job seeking. In

this

way, more experiences in different cultures and cooperation with various people with multiple backgrounds would be a better choice. In conclusion, in spite of the possibility of facing more undelight situations and experiencing hard times, the advantages of studying abroad outweigh its side effects and,

thus

, I believe

this

is a positive tendency.
