Recent years, there is a vast increase in the number of students choose to study abroad. This is
particularly popular it is because people are more affluent and partly due to the variety of grants
and scholarships are available for overseas students nowadays. Although foreign study is not
something which every student would choose.
Firstly, it may give students access to knowledge and facilities such as laboratories and libraries
which are not available in their home country. By looking abroad students may find a wider range
of courses than those offered in their country’s universities, and therefore one which fits more
closely to their particular requirements.
Studying abroad has a number of drawbacks. These may be divided into personal and
professional. Firstly, students have to leave their family and friends for a long period. Study
abroad is almost always more expensive than studying at one’s local university.
The disadvantages of studying abroad are usually temporary in nature. Students who study
abroad generally become frequent in the language quite soon and they are only away from their
family and friends for a year or two. What is more, many of the benefits last students all their
lives and make them highly desirable to professional employees.
