What do you think are the advantages of studying college in a foreign country?

Question

Provide reasons and examples

Answer 1

Hey,

I'm assuming you are asking this because you are seeking to apply and attend a University/College overseas. Well this is my input of the advantages:

Studying overseas provides a student with Independence, first and foremost, as your parents are not there to support you if something were to go wrong. International Universities also provide a different perspective on a course program then you would see and learn in the US. You are also immersed in a totally different culture and world. You are able to witness how that given society functions and are then able to adapt to it and enjoy what they have to offer.

Depending on the country and university, you may have to take a proficiency test and learn a new language and this in-itself is a great attribute to have in life. Your resume will also look much brighter in the eyes of an employer. Obtaining a degree from an international university shows independence, determination, goals, and willingness to excel, all becoming key players to employers when they interview and hire candidates. You also are able to say you have been in a different country by yourself and say you "been there, done that".

It all depends on how much you really want it and how motivated you are. It is very costly as opposed to the US and and culture and way of life is definitely not like in American Society.

Hope this Helps!! Take Care!!!
