It is believed that there are many advantages in attending schools abroad. First, students can learn foreign languages more quickly under favorable conditions. Second, it can broaden their experience and help them learn much more advanced knowledge of science and technology from foreign countries.
However, there are some disadvantages. Most of the students studying abroad are too young to live alone without any living experience. Besides, being far away from their home country, they may feel lonely and homesick. Also, the costs are much higher there than in the native country.
