This essay will be introducing the pros and cons of studying\nabroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp; First of all, studying\nabroad allows students to gain more exposure to different cultures. When a\nstudent stays in one place all their lives, they are very accustomed to a\ncertain lifestyle and are only able to get a glimpse of the outside world\nthrough pictures or stories told by their peers. Yet, studying abroad allows\nstudents to be able to learn more about the world and to not always be\nsheltered by what they are familiar with. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp; Another strong point on\nstudying overseas is that students can learn to be more independent. When students\nare thousands of miles away from home, they have no choice but to learn to\nbecome more independent. They are away from home and they will not have a\nparent which is just a drive away, pressuring them to make good decisions\nwithout any help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp; Studying abroad has\nloads of advantages, but there are also disadvantages to studying overseas as\nwell, which shouldn\u2019t be overlooked either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp; First of all, students are not capable of making smart choices on their own during this time in their life. As Form Three students are still immature and are still getting accustomed to having more freedom and flexibility in their lives, they might not be able to handle it correctly, causing them to make irreversible mistakes. Some may say that making mistakes is part of life, making a disastrous mistake at such a young age may not be worth it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp; Also, while studying\nabroad students might encounter a language barrier. As English is a commonly\nused language worldwide, if one\u2019s English isn\u2019t up to par, then not only would\nthey have difficulty with learning but also making new friends. Being able to\nmake friends is quite important while trying to adapt to a new and unfamiliar\nenvironment, yet if they are not able to speak the language then it would be\neven harder for them to gain the confidence and reach out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp; In conclusion, there are certain benefits and drawbacks to studying overseas, such as being able to gain more exposure to the outside world, learning to become more independent, not capable of making smart choices and encountering a language barrier in a foreign country. Although I am not keen on form three students leaving home to study abroad, I believe that being able to have the opportunity to step out of their comfort zone and broaden their horizons would be more beneficial to a teen rather than detrimental.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<!-- wp:paragraph --><p>Studying abroad has become more and more common amongst form students, yet I wonder if studying abroad does better than harm to secondarthree students?
