ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF STUDYING ABROAD BY AURORA GARCIA CANO

Many people think that studying abroad means to be alone for a long period of time, feeling homesick because you are far from your family and friends. However, it also has also lots of advantages, especially when there’s a different culture in the country where you go. We must look at both sides of the question.
On the one hand, travelling and meeting new cultures can help to open your mind. Learning a new language, getting used to new habits and meeting people are good ways to become a more mature person. What’s more, you can make lots of friends that will last for the rest of your life. Another important advantage is the fact that you will be able to know the city where you stay, including its their monuments and beautiful places.
But it is also true that at the beginning you can feel alone sometimes because you haven’t made friends yet. It can be hard to try to make friends when the people have different thoughts as yours. In addition, when the country where you go has a very different culture, it’s difficult to get used to it.
In my opinion, there are some disadvantages about studying abroad, but it can be very positive for you to improve your language skills and have more experience.


Advantages and disadvantages of studying abroad BY MARTA ARJONA

Students, when they have the opportunity, think about studying abroad. But, do they care about the disadvantages to of going to another country and leaving home? It is not an easy question, but it has some advantages and disadvantages.
Many people, when they finish their university studies, travel to another city to continue studying. It is a good way to meet boys and girls from different countries and know what their cultures are about, and contrast them with your own culture. In addition, going abroad can help us to improve a language. If you go, for example, to England you will meet people from France, Italy or even from China. What’s more, you will be taught by other teachers and you will probably like it, because it is a new way to learn.
However, studying abroad has some disadvantages. It is too expensive because you have to pay for electricity, the rent of the house where you stay, etc. Moreover, foreigners have to pay higher prices than natives. The great majority of the colleges or universities demand you to have a high level of English or any language, as well. Furthermore, you will miss your family, friends and the habits you had at home.
In conclusion, I think that studying abroad, although it has some disadvantages, can open up you new horizons and learn new ways to study and make friends.

Many people think that studying abroad is very important because they say that it is a special experience. There are many reasons for going to study abroad. However, there are also some disadvantages.

One advantage of studying abroad is that people learn a lot of new things, for example, a foreign language and a career. What’s more, students can learn about another country and other customs because they meet new people persons, for example, in the university.

On the other hand, studying abroad is a difficult experience at the beginning because you are away from your family and your friends. Furthermore, you have to adapt to your new life because there are a lot of changes in your habits.

In conclusion, I think that studying abroad is a good idea because you learn a lot of new things and you meet interesting people, but it is hard because you are not with your family.
