STUDYING ABROAD : PAGE 20

It is normal for students from the country to study at foreign universities because they feel that education in their country is worse.

Having an academic experience abroad is better than having it in your country in the sense that you learn another culture, language and meet different people.

But the downside of studying abroad is that it can be expensive, you miss your family and friends, and you may not adapt well to the culture of the country.

In conclusion, although studying abroad has its advantages, your country can also be a good option too.
