The idea of going overseas for university study is an exciting prospect for many people.
But while it may offer some advantages, it is probably better to stay home because of the
difficulties a student inevitably encounters living and studying in a different culture.
To what extent do you agree or disagree this statement? Give reasons for your answer

There is no doubt that going to study in a foreign country with a different language
and culture will be difficult. However, studying abroad has many benefits and is the wish
of many people. Therefore, students who study abroad will have new experiences and new
ways of thinking to keep up with the times than people at home.
Learning experience is the first reason why students like to study abroad. A
foreign education teaches students a way of thinking that focuses on developing the ability
to work independently and be creative and accumulate knowledge. For instance, after
graduating from school, students can have many opportunities to get into big companies.
On the other hand, I believe that going overseas for university going abroad for
university help students experience a new culture. When they arrive in a new country,
students are often drawn to the culture, traditionals, food, landscape and social atmosphere
of that place. For instance, food and scenery in foreign countries that are not available at
home and new events and festivals abroad.
To sum up, studying abroad has many difficulties and limitations, but it brings
valuable experiences on the way of personal development.
