Study abroad can become great opportunity to explore world, learn new culture, maybe even new language, and just simply enjoy life. Here are some concerns that may arise with that decision.
1) When choosing university make sure it is well recognized in the world. If you are planning to stay in the country of your university to gain work experience then there is no problem. In country of your chosen university it will have enough value and will be well accepted by your potential employer. However, if you want to go back to your native country or any other country where received education have high value, here are some problems may come. For example, most of people will know Oxford, however very few will know about International Christian University –Kiev.
2) Take a good care into choosing of the program. Every country has its own standards and you need to understand at least approximately what you want to get out of this education at the end.
3) Because it is not your own country, it will be harder to make correct decision regarding university. Look for information on forums and sites to understand what is a general impression of students about any particular university. However, all that information can be in foreign language, there are few sites that can help you with that: http://www.studyoverseas.com/, http://www.eilireland.org
4) It could be more expensive in comparison to study local. All those extra costs that arise from travel abroad, renting, clubbing, and etc. More expensive does not mean not possible! Just take this into consideration when making choice.
From the other hand studying abroad it is great experience. Most of multinational companies would certainly appreciate international cooperation environment that you will be part of while study. Because people are coming from different cultural environments you will need to learn to collaborate, solve problems, avoid conflicts, and etc.
All and on – it is good fun and great experience that worth thinking about!
