ADVANTAGES STUDYING ABROAD

1. LEARNING A NEW CULTURE

One of the biggest advantages is the opportunity to immerse yourself in a new
environment that is completely different from the country of origin.
This experience allows you to see and do things you have never been through, meet
people who grew up with different cultures.
You will be able to taste the food, customs, traditions and an incredible new social
atmosphere.
Not only people’s culture, you will also learn to see your own culture through the
views of others.
There is no denying that national settings have different cultures and lifestyles. When
you are in a country of people, you have the opportunity to learn about the culture and
background of the people in that country.
For example, the Korean society that adopts a culture of reading in public transport, in
particular the trend is highly desirable to be emulated by today’s society. They do not
like to waste their free time on things that do not benefit them.
New cultures from the outside we can emulate in turn change ourselves for the better.
However, at the same time, hold fast to the religion and identity of your country of
birth. As the saying goes 'the good set an example, the bad set a boundary'.
2. Education
In this case, indeed education is the most important advantage of studying abroad.
But what are the advantages?
If you continue your studies abroad, you have the opportunity to get a different style
of education.You will be exposed to a variety of new and possibly more effective
learning styles for you.Most interestingly, you may have the opportunity to gain a
different perspective on your course that may not be available in your own
country.You will also find that by fully immersing yourself in the education system of
your destination country.

By pursuing a study abroad program, you may be able to approach your studies in a
different way and see a new side of your field of study that you may never have seen
at home. Engaging in a new type of education system will help you understand the
people and traditions of the host country. Education is uniquely approached in
different parts of the world, so you should give yourself a choice to choose which
tactic you like best and most suitable for you.

DISADVANTAGES OF STUDYING ABROAD

1. LANGUAGE BARRIERS AND CULTURE SHOCK

Effective communication is essential for your success as a study abroad

student. If you'll be facing a language barrier, it's important that you know the
level of fluency that will be expected of you. You may also find yourself jolted
by the sudden shift in culture. Everything from food and religious practices to
transportation systems and style of dress may differ from those in your home
country. Unfortunately, this culture shock can lead to feelings of frustration,
anxiety, and homesickness. If you are not prepared to cope with these
differences, they can lead to considerable amounts of stress even in
situations where you're performing the most mundane of tasks.

2. STUDYING ABROAD IS EXPENSIVE

Travel expenses, tuition, room and board, books and supplies, utilities, local
transportation, and the overall cost of living can add up quickly when studying
abroad. In fact, the International Institute of Education estimates the average
cost of studying abroad to be around $18,000 per semester. Travel expenses,

3. YOURE ON YOUR OWN.

Navigating a foreign destination on your own can be a very intimidating

experience. You may be experiencing certain levels of independence for the
very first time. Perhaps you've never lived on your own or traveled outside of
your home country. Because some of the worst symptoms of culture shock
(sadness, anxiety, a sense of isolation or alienation) can result from the
realization that you no longer have your friends and family beside you, it's
important that you've fully prepared for this transition. In addition, students
studying abroad are also likely to be influenced by western culture. For
example, following to drink alcohol, not covering the aurat and ignoring the
five daily prayers. When a student is influenced by such a culture, they will be
hated by society and their own family.

4. CHANCES OF FACING RACISM HARASSMENT

This disadvantage might or might not be very common. But it is still prevailing
in many parts of the world. Few students around the world are still
facing racism harassment in the university or the place they stay. As it cannot
be taken very light racism attacks have stopped many students from choosing
studies abroad. For an example, as we know the biggest actresses and miss
world Priyanka Chopra the Indian has been go through with the same
situation when she was trying to became a successful person.
