The advantages and disadvantages of studying abroad
1346013 Heerim Suh
Today, compared to the past, it is common for people to go abroad to study what they
want. Although many people from young students to grown up adults fancy studying abroad,
there are not only advantages but also disadvantages of studying abroad. The advantages and
disadvantages of studying away from home country are closely related to educational and
emotional condition.
The advantages contribute to educational and interpersonal benefits. First, studying
abroad brings wider and deeper educational effects. People can study and experience other
culture which is different from that of their countries. Wider experience in different cultures
helps develop people’s general understanding and insight into the world. Furthermore, as with
the prevailing purpose for studying abroad, people can have a good chance to develop their
foreign language skill since they get to speak practical language with native speakers in a
suitable environment. Second, by contacting with a variety of people from other cultures,
people can teach themselves how to get along with different types of people. Exposure to the
bigger world will help people to manage challengeable situation well. For example, people
who have experienced various cultures and people are more likely to adapt to a new
environment easily.
However, there are also numerous disadvantages that keep people from focusing on
study in a foreign country. First, loneliness comes to reality when living and studying with
new people. It is obvious that people would feel lonely and strange when they face a new
situation away from the familiar. Even though the period of feeling loneliness varies case by
case, it is a serious emotional burden. Sometimes, loneliness distracts people from
concentrating on what they have to do such as studying and getting along with new friends
and neighbors. Second, studying abroad can bring about psychological confusion in people’s
own identity. Having an identity crisis has a serious impact especially on young children who
are in a critical stage of establishing their own identity. Identity crisis can occur when living
in an unfamiliar environment which includes speaking foreign language, eating foreign food,
and sharing thoughts with new foreign people and these activities are different from those of
their home country to which they used to belong. If this develops into a serious confusion, it
can be a big obstacle in studying for a desirable purpose.
The advantages of studying abroad provide people with wider and deeper insight,
experience and interpersonal relationship as well as language skill. On the other hand, the
disadvantages of emotional distractions such as loneliness and identity crisis can undermine
the advantages if one is not fully prepared to fit himself into the new environment.
