Nowadays,more and more students in our country choose to study abroad,even primary school pupils. I don't have an experience of that,and I don't know if it is really good to study abroad for a person's development,either. So,dear friends,let's express our points of view about it!

well you can study abroad. the true that it may sound, yeah it's cool. but also there are effects, negative effects with such coolness. first it would only show that most people in your country doesn't trust your educational institution and that could be a hard blow in the international community. second you may not know you own country anymore, for you will study somewhere that is far from your native land. it's stead of further understanding your own history and culture you will be an expert in someone else country.thirdly when you came back after some years outside your country you would probably find yourself a stranger in your own country. that is what expert say alienation, and that my friend is something that you would be painful to someone. believe my been there did that and now what i have become is nothing. a person with out a nation doesn't belong to any at all. it is only understanding your roots that you will be proud of what you are.

I think it would be AWESOME to study abroad and would be a great experience! I probably wouldn't do it now for my Master's because I am older, but I wish I would have looked into it more when I was an undergrad in college. I'm not sure exactly where I would have wanted to study, but maybe Ireland, Sweden, Norway, Italy, etc.

I think that, as college student, the experience would be an amazing experience. To be able to see a new place while studying. That must be amazing. Not only are you in school studying something that you love, but you get the chance to see what you wouldn't be able to see, if you were studying near your hometown or something. I would imagine that one grows more this way.
