Many students chose attend university in other countries instead of local colleges.
It is a brave decision since those students have to face challenges like a different language and culture.
However, there are benefits in choosing to study abroad which can compensate the difficulties.
It is not every country that had developed or choose developed the same majors because of cultural or economic issues.
It is completely understandable a student who move to other country in order to study something that he cannot find in his own country.
As an example, I can use my own case.
I want to study screenwriter; although there are a few courses about it here in Brazil, there is no degree and the courses are not really good, at least, not so good as it is in other places.
Secondly, study in another place it is a chance to meet new people and a different culture.
It can be challenging indeed, but it can also be funny; a chance to grownup.
When people discover that the world it is not only they home country, they tend to see the world on a less biased way.
Thirdly, it is a chance to share your own culture throughout the world.
A foreigner view can, sometimes, be exactly what some institutions need; a point-of-view from a different place, with a different history.
A student from a third world country can enrich classes discussions about the history of his country, and vice-versa.
Students from developed countries who study on countries in development can change the way those countries are saw.
In conclusion, there are several reasons which can be appointed that can lead a student chose to study away from home.
If a student has how to do it and is willing to face the difficulties of a new language and a new culture, he does not have to think twice.
Take the opportunity and conquer the world.
