Studying abroad also provides opportunities to students, who can learn advanced knowledge and technology. Secondly, studying abroad can improve students' ability to live independently. Students have to deal with many problems when they study abroad. They have to learn how to live in a new environment and how to get along with the teachers and classmates. During their study, they can get skills to cooperate with others. Finally, studying abroad can give us an opportunity to let the foreigners learn about China and attract them to invest in China.However, ‘Every coin has its two sides’. Studying abroad also brings about many disadvantages. Firstly, it costs a lot of money and causes a heavy burden to their parents. Secondly, They often feel lonely and helpless in a new environment. Furthermore, it’s very easy for them to form bad habits since their parents are not around, and some of them will choose to stay in a foreign country and refuse to come back.
