A common topic that lots of adults have been talking about. Whether to study abroad is not that simple as what one’s think. I believed that for every decision that should be made have two sides of stories whether it will benefit the student or bring disadvantage to the students. Should I would like to share the disadvantage and advantage of studying abroad.
Firstly, help one to be more independent. While growing up most of our parents will fulfill our daily needs by preparing meals and taking care of our health ensuring that living condition is good. However when going oversea studying students need to either cook their own meals or eat out every day which is impossible as pocket money is limited. Students also need to ensure the tidy and cleaniness of the room. All by themselves so by going for oversea studying it helps to boost one’s independence level and level of responsibility.
Secondly, boost student’s confidence level. By going to a foreign country to stay and to study, required students to step out of their comfort zone and goes to a country with different social culture from where they grow up and making new friends from different social background helps them to be more outgoing as they know friends from all over the world and when they mix with people who is like them travel away from their hometown steeping out of their comfort zone confidently willing to take up the challenge that might be face when studying abroad. Makes them not only confidence but next time when entering the workforce they are also willing to take more the challenge work like how they did by making decision to study abroad during college.
However, by studying abroad especially now when COVID happen all around the world, going for abroad studying is a high risk. Many parents afraid that unpresant things might happened to their children when they are oversea studying alone. No one is able to take care and also parents will be worried for children of their health and safety issue as some countries isnt that safe compare to their hometown. Hence by studying abroad one of the disadvantage is health and safety reasons.
In a nutshell, every story and decision have both side to consider whether the disadvatage or advantage will be more by making that decesion. In my opnions i believe that college students whose family is able to affort should consider sending their children to study abroad as the students can benefits alots.
