STUDYING ABROAD
Before applying to a foreign university, one should consider the disadvantages of studying abroad. First, a student may feel lonely by being far from home and friends. Also, difficulty in understanding a foreign language can be very disappointing and can affect the student’s grades. It can be very expensive to pay the costs of travel and housing in a different country. Finally, if there is an emergency at home, it will be hard to get home in a hurry.
However, studying in another country is advantageous in many ways. A student is exposed to a new culture. This culture teaches him or her about other people and other ways of thinking, which can promote friendships among countries. He can learn a new language which may be beneficial for keeping up with research after the student has finished studying. He can learn experience not available in his country. The student may also get the opportunity to study at a university where a leading expert in his field may be teaching. The leading expert can introduce the student to the most up-to-date findings of the top researchers in the field. Exposure to such available knowledge and insights into the field can aid the student in becoming an expert as well.
