Nowadays, many young people are eager to live and study abroad, because they want to study in developed countries where they can get a progressive education. Besides increasing their knowledge, they dream about a better life. Certainly, studying abroad seems an excellent opportunity, but like with most things in life, there are some advantages and disadvantages.
On the one hand, studying abroad you have really good chance to improve language. When you are surrounded by another language environment, you have an opportunity to develop your listening and speaking skills. I suppose there is no other good way to become fluent. Also, aside from language, you get to know new culture, history, lifestyle, customs and so on. You are not only enriching your knowledge, but also adopting it for yourself. It can open your eyes on something. Furthermore, it is an adventure. Living and studying abroad can be full of happiness, fun and enjoy, because it gives you a chance to make friends with new people. So, there is new experience to have. In addition, studying abroad gives you great resources which probably you can`t get in your local universities. You may be able to do a course that you couldn’t do in your country, or be able to study at a college or university that specializes in your chosen area of study. Also, you have possibility to study using the newest technologies. Finally, studying abroad tends to look good on the CV. The fact that you have lived and studied abroad shows that you have important working qualities such as independence, initiative, and stress-resistance.
On the other hand, studying abroad has some potential downsides. Firstly, is quite expensive. Not only because of cost of education, but also because you have to live somewhere, eat something and be ready to pay it by yourself. Finances may become the main problem. Secondly, a new environment is a really challenge for foreign students. They can experience culture shock. Even if student knows a lot about a country,where he is going to live, there is a probability, that he will be faced with some differences. For example, differences in people`s behavior and relations. The last disadvantage is that you, undoubtedly, can feel homesick, be lost or alienated. You may find yourself feeling alone without your relatives and friends. Furthermore, making a good friendships takes time and it can be more difficult in a country that you are not used to.
In conclusion, education abroad is a great opportunity, but it also has difficulties that you can try your best to overcome. Therefore, I suppose it is silly to reject this experience. So if you have a chance to study abroad , you should` t miss it.
