In recent years, an increasing number of students choose to attend college abroad, while some, financially challenging or not, still regard going to school at home as their first choice. It is obvious that this phenomenon has been the concern of many people. From my perspective of view, to study abroad has both benefits and drawbacks.
There is no doubt that students are benefiting tremendously from attending college abroad. Those who study at a world famous university can not only broaden their horizons but also gain better job opportunities. As exposed to foreign cultures and customs, overseas students can immerse themselves in the nation’s language. As to studying abroad, certainly, some drawbacks does exist. First, living away from home can be challenging and even frustrating to some extent. Moreover, the language barrier may cause difficulties for students whose language skill is not good enough. In addition, some students even experience culture shock in the alien environment as a result of unfamiliarity and maladjustment.
All in all, in order to achieve a colorful as well as meaningful experience in your life, students having the idea of studying abroad must be well prepared for all the possibilities they may encounter before making final decisions.

近年來,越來越多的學生選擇出國留學,然而,不管經濟條件如何,一些學生仍然把在國內上大學作為首選。很明顯,這種現象一直受到人們的關注。在我看來,出國留學有利有弊。
毫無疑問,出國留學讓學生受益匪淺。那些在世界名校讀書的學生不僅可以開闊眼界,而且可以獲得更好的工作機會。因為接觸國外的文化和習俗,留學生可以讓自己融入該國語言。當然,關于出國留學,也存在一定的弊端。首先,從某種程度上來說,遠離家鄉(xiāng)是具有一定的挑戰(zhàn)性的,甚至是令人沮喪的。對于語言技能不夠好的學生,語言障礙也可能造成一定的困難。此外,在陌生的環(huán)境,由于不熟悉和不適應,一些學生甚至經歷了文化沖擊。
總的來說,為了獲得人生中一段豐富多彩而且有意義的經歷,有出國留學想法的學生在做出最終的決定之前一定要做好可能遭遇各種可能性的準備。
