Certainly, studying abroad seems an excellent opportunity to enrich your knowledge of the language and the culture, to learn how to be more responsible and so on . But there are also some people who find there are many disadvantages such as cultural shock, financial difficulties and the homesickness .
First of all , studying abroad is a good chance to improve your knowledge of the language . When you are surrounded by another language environment , you have an opportunity to develop your listening and speaking skills . Also , aside from language, you get to know a new culture, history, lifestyle, customs and so on . Furthermore , it is an adventure. Living and studying abroad can be full of happiness , fun and enjoy , because it gives you a chance to make friends with new people . So , there is new experience to have . In addition , studying abroad gives you great resources which probably you can`t get in your local universities . Moreover , you have a possibility to study using the newest technologies . Finally , studying abroad looks good on the CV. The fact that you have lived and studied abroad shows that you have important working qualities .
However , studying abroad has some disadvantages , for instance cultural shock , the homesickness , cultural differences and so on . The first disadvantage is that it is quite expensive . Not only because of the cost of education , but also because you have to live somewhere , eat something and be ready to pay it by yourself . Finances may become the main problem . Secondly, a new environment is a really challenge for foreign students . They can experience a culture shock . Even if a student knows a lot about a country where he is going to live, there is a probability that he will be faced with some differences . For example , differences in students` behaviour and relations. The last disadvantage is that you , undoubtedly , can feel homesick . You may find yourself feeling alone without your relatives and friends . Furthermore, making a good friendships takes time and it can be more difficult in a country that you are not used to.
