Studying Abroad

Many student choose to study abroad nowadays. The main reason they do that is they want to experience foreign culture. Here, i would like to talk about the advantages and disadvantages studying abroad.

The first advantage is, we can experience the foreign culture. Every culture has their own unique culture. For example, the Americans usually have a voracious appetite and the food old in their restaurants is sizeable. Therefore, students who studying abroad can be exposed to difference cultures.

Beside that, we can brush  up our English especially our spoken English. We must speak English in daily life in foreign countries in order to communicate with the foreigners. Beside, we can learn native English without accent.

As seen above, there are obviously benefits of studying abroad. But, there are also some drawbacks.

The first disadvantage is that it is difficult to us to comfort ourself into the new community. We might not get along well with the foreign neighbour or classmates because of difference language and cultures. Some student wants to make friends, but studying abroad might be counterproductive.

Another disadvantage is that we may be influenced by the culture there. For instance, we may take up the habit of drinking alcohol or get hooked on drugs. Without family’s supervisiom, we will easily affected by our friends.


In conclusion, studying abroad has its pros and cons. Student should be able to weigh the effects of their choice. Whether it is overseas or local, students should remember their initial goal; to study and succeed in their life.
