In recent years, an increasing number of students choose to attend college abroad, while some, financially challenging or not, still regard going to school at home as their first choice. It is obvious that this phenomenon has been the concern of many people. From my perspective of view, to study abroad has both benefits and drawbacks.

There is no doubt that students are benefiting tremendously from attending college abroad. Those who study at a world famous university can not only broaden their horizons but also gain better job opportunities. As exposed to foreign cultures and customs, overseas students can immerse themselves in the nation’s language. As to studying abroad, certainly, some drawbacks does exist. First, living away from home can be challenging and even frustrating to some extent. Moreover, the language barrier may cause difficulties for students whose language skill is not good enough. In addition, some students even experience culture shock in the alien environment as a result of unfamiliarity and maladjustment.

All in all, in order to achieve a colorful as well as meaningful experience in your life, students having the idea of studying abroad must be well prepared for all the possibilities they may encounter before making final decisions.

Along with the development of society, more and more problems are brought to our attention, one of the most serious problem is that whether to attend college at home or abroad.

According to a survey, some people are in favor of the idea of getting higher education at home. They point out the factor that studying at home gives them a sense of security, which means, the help from family or friends is always available whenever they encounter some troubles; they also argue that experiencing cultural shock is unavoidable and terrible for students studying overseas, so the “homeland higher education” makes life happier and then they will concentrate more on their curriculums.

Other people who stand on the different ground. They firmly point out that studying overseas enables them to be independent and try their best to adapt to every aspect abroad. Many employers say graduates from universities abroad are better at analyzing and solving problems on their own.

It is difficult to say which one is better, as it depends very much on

the situation of the students’ own intention and family financial background. However, from a personal point of view, studying overseas allows people to make more friends, try more foods and appreciate more places.

Nowadays, there has been a heated discussion as to a better choice between attending college at home and abroad. Views on the topic vary greatly among people from different walks of life. Some believe that it is a better choice to study in domestic colleges, but others consider it better to study abroad.

I totally agree with the latter idea for the reasons presented below. To begin with, it harms the society in that the greater the competition is, the higher the recruitment requirements will become. Therefore, with experiences of studying abroad, graduates will become more competitive in job hunting. Furthermore, it is beneficial to the students themselves to study abroad. Without the choice to pursue overseas study, many great scholars today would never have achieved such great success.

From my perspective, it is crucial that the government should encourage people to pursue overseas study. Also it is crucial that people should understand the meaning and value of attending college abroad. Only in this way can we achieve greater success.

Living in a world which is full of changes and challenges,we are confronted with new problems every single day. Of all the issues, one might disturb the students the most, and it is if we have two options: to attend college at home or abroad. As for me, I prefer to choose the latter.

Why ,you may wonder , should I would like to study abroad ? The reasons responsible for it can be listed as follows.

Among the most important reasons cited by people is that to study abroad，directly or indirectly，can not only broaden our eyes and enrich our life experience，which is of great importance in one’s growth.

What’s more，to attend college abroad can give us an independent personality and more globalized vision towards the world, if it were not for those two attributes, how could we achieve great goals in this dog-eat-dog world .

Above all, in such a society where emphasis，more often than not ， is laid on quality of education and information, to study abroad , if we had the chance, must be a good choice.
To study abroad, so at least it seems to me, is preferable for those who have the ability to afford the fees, in the process of which we will develop an innovative thought mode .

As a proverb goes, there is no difficulty that an innovative thought mode can not solve, no door that an innovative thought mode can not open, no mountain that an innovative thought mode can not surmount.
