Advantages Vs Disadvantages of Overseas Education

The trend in overseas education has certainly seen a rise is the past couple of years but whether it is truly beneficial or not is still arguable. What I believe is that it is different for each individual depending on the line of study they intend to seek abroad. The best way to analyze whether overseas education is for you or not, is to weigh its advantages and disadvantages simultaneously. Here are some of the pros and cons of overseas education that should be kept in view when planning to say goodbye to your home.

Everywhere you go and every site you search will say the same, that the
advantages of overseas education is to gain new perspective on the world, hone language skills, familiarize yourself with a new culture, get to know people, refine your decision making and problem solving skills, pursue new activities and explore your independence. In today’s modern era of industrialization all these things might matter up to a limit but most of the people who seek overseas education do so in order to brighten their future and open the doors of opportunity for themselves.

Since majority of the people who seek out overseas education are Asians and according to a study 20.3% people in Central Asia, 85% in Southeast Asia and 50% in Eastern Asia live on less that $2 dollars a day. Therefore people who study abroad do so in order to have better education and work experience so that they can ensure a safe and secure future for themselves and improve their job perspectives, as overseas education gives the job resume a huge boost. Moreover international education also enhances your cross-cultural communication skills, analytical skills, flexibility, ability to adapt, teamwork skills, independence and self confidence. It also gives people a kind of prestige in their home countries.

Studying abroad also means going away from home and living in a new culture with totally different customs and values. The differences that people experience include different food, inappropriate standards of cleanliness, fear of safety and different bathroom facilities. Many people also feel homesick but there are others that believe that living alone provides you with valuable experience on how to survive on your own. Another majorly daunting disadvantage is that the cost of overseas education is huge especially for people from developing countries. Moreover there are many countries that do not allow you to work while there are others that require you to provide proof that you have sufficient funds to afford travel costs, tuition fees and boarding expenses before they allow you a student visa.
