Because of the ability of today;s generation to consider things from a global rather than a local point of view, many students go overseas to study their major or what they want to learn. Some of them enter the university in a different culture than they are used to. Going abroad for university os an exciting prospect, but it causes some problems because of the difficulties a student inevitably encounters living and studying in a different culture. I agree with this statement for the following reasons.
First, the students who are in different culture have a problem about adapting to new situations. Living in a different culture means that people should live in another climate, eat other food, and speak another language. These things sound pretty simple, but they can be create many other problems. If someone lives in a different climate or eats different food, he/she could easily get diseases like cold or diarrhea, becaues he/she has different metabolism system that does not fit eith the other country. In addition, If someone can not speak the language of the other country, he/she could not express his/her feelings exactly. It also makes other big problems. As a result, these things make it hard for someone who is in a different culture to adapt.
Second, the students who are abroad do not have some people who can protect them. Most students who go overseas to study are alone. They do not live with their family, so whenever they are in trouble they should solve the problem by themselves. It is not easy to solve some problems alone expect for the studying aspect. Foexample, when one of my friends was in the U.S. to study her major, she had some medical problems. She needed someone to take care of her and take her to the hospital but she had to do everything by herself. She had some friends who could help her, but they were not with her enough to help all the time. At that time she was so sad because she really missed her family.
Going abroad to study has some problems in terms of adaption and sloving some problems. However if someone overcomes there problems, he/she could get a lof of good experience. |
