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.

However, studying in another country is advantageous in many ways. A student is exposed to a new culture.

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.
