Studying in your own country vs studying abroad
Today, the UAE offers an overall education to all male and female
students from kindergarten to university, with education for the country’s
nationals being provided free at all levels. There is also an extensive private
education sector, while several thousand students, both male and female, follow
courses of higher education abroad at government expense. Much has been
completed since the early 1970s but now they try to improve the educational
environment for all students, in line with a revaluation of the role of
government. Spending a semester or a year studying
abroad is a popular and valuable experience for college students all around the
world. College is a time for personal and educational evolution, and studying
abroad provides an excellent opportunity for this. The benefits and advantages
of these courses are many for those with the desire to do so; it gives credit
for study abroad and it’s very advantageous for students desiring this
experience.
The advantages of studying in your own
country and are many and we
will discuss some of them. First, for example, is your language. The students
can escape the necessity of learning a second language when studying in their
own country. Courses in one's mother language are much easier to learn and
succeed at. Learning a second language offers a valuable experience, however,
and one that many regret later in life for not having pursued. At the same
time, students can still enroll in language classes in their own country to
attain a working knowledge of a language.
Second,
the costs at universities and colleges around the world vary. Some countries
heavily support learning for residents, but charge full price for foreign
students. If a student's parents have a passport in a foreign country, students
may be able to look into receiving study at the standard price. In their own
country, students pay standard teaching costs. They may also have more chance
for scholarships. When studying in one's country, students do not have to pay
for flights home on holidays.
On the other hand we have disadvantages of studying in
our own country like, lack of learning
languages other than the original, lower level of education, lack of
scientific discipline, little friendship .
The
same thing with studying abroad: extra work responsibility, loss of privacy,
cultural differences, worry, food issues, communication with their families and
high costs and culture shock. Students who study in their own country do not
have to deal with culture shock, that is when a person feels lost and
disoriented in a foreign culture. Students studying in their own country do not
have to deal with this added stress to their studies.
In my opinion, it’s really hard to do your homework
for a few months, because unless you are fluent in the language of the country
you are living in, you have to spend a lot of time each night translating your
work. Normally, people will stare and point, depending on the country, of
course. Sometimes it is hard to communicate if you are not well-spoken. It's also
very expensive. For the first while, it could be frustrating to be in a country
surrounded by people who you cannot understand, and who can't understand you,
so I think studying
in my own country is better than studying abroad.
