The advantage/disadvantage of studying aboard. Studying Aboard There is no doubt that going to study in a foreign country with its language and culture, can be a frustrating and sometimes painful experience. But while overseas study has its drawbacks, the difficulties are far outweighed by the advantages. Indeed, people who go abroad for study open themselves up to experiences that those who stay at home will never have. 出国留学最明显的优势是在现实生活中使用一门不同的语言。虽然一个人可以在他或她自己的国家学习一门外语，但它无法与在学术和日常生活中不断使用该语言相比。要提高第二语言技能，没有比生活在语言使用国更好的机会了。此外，在学习期间使用过这门语言，当一个人回国申请需要这门语言的工作时，会有明显的优势。 On a university campus, the foreign student is not alone in having come from far away. He or she will likely encounter many others from overseas and it is possible to make friends from all around the world. This is not only exciting on a social level, but could lead to important overseas contacts in later professional life. 最后，在国外生活和学习为一个人提供了一个新的和不同的视角来看待世界，也许最重要的是，了解自己的国家。一旦克服了在新文化中最初的震惊，学生就会慢慢地开始对东道国社会有一个有意义的了解。回国后，一个人不可避免地会以一种新的、往往更加欣赏的眼光看待自己的国家。 In conclusion, while any anxiety about going overseas for university study is certainly understandable, it is important to remember that the benefits offered by the experience make it well worthwhile.
