ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT STUDYING ABROAD?

There are many reasons to make the decision to study abroad, as much as personally, academically and
professionally, life begins where our comfort zone ends since you are going to be in a totally new
environment and you are the one with the entire responsibility to fulfill the obligations you assume. The
unknown stimulates the brain, broadens horizons and provides you with new resources to face reality,
acquire a new perspective on the world we already know. However, there are some disadvantages, but
also many advantages in this decision that I will mention them.

Let us start by considering the benefits studying abroad makes you improve your professional profile.
This translates into better job opportunities in sight. For companies, it is attractive to have staff who
have experienced abroad. Communicating in another language in daily interactions or studying are
experiences that catalyze learning. In addition to acquiring a better accent and greater fluency, even in
most countries you have the possibility of being in contact with many different languages. You will know
a much better and different quality of life. Personally, posses great value is knowing new culture.

The disadvantages make the experience difficult. One of the most complicated parts could be
adaptation. When you decide to study abroad, you do not just have to mold yourself to your new
university, you also need to face a lot of changes. Of course, you will miss those things that characterize
your country, customs, food, smells, and the way people are treated. Moreover, It carries a series of
significant expenses. From paying the tuition, going through travel costs, new residence, and other
monthly expenses to survive.

From my point of view people who have studied abroad develop the skills and competences necessary
to succeed today: flexibility, adaptability, good treatment with other cultures, handling of other
languages, You can also have contacts in all parts of the world it is only a matter of having your goals
clear and do not give up before the difficulties.
