Great article. Thanks for sharing...
I can as well ad that there is a difference in attitude towards studying overseas on behalf of parents and kids. Parents often choose cost effective option (recognized degree @ affordable cost), which kids seldom think from the money point of view.... they are too excited about the possibility to go abroad... that can consider event the most expensive option

I definitely agree.. There are really a huge difference when it comes to studying abroad.

Those what you stated are just the clearest benefits you'll get when you go abroad and study.

I would also like to add, "Independent".. Going out of the country to study is one way to become an independent individual. Which would your parents want too!

I think, studying abroad benefits both the children and the parents! Although "homesickness" would be your #1 enemy.. Nowadays, with hi-technology you will not miss home that much!

I know one mom, who visited her elder daughter in Canada 18!!! times, while the kid was doing her masters. Now she is sending her younger daughter to Ukraine for MBBS and as I have understood plans to visit her child even more often...)))) so even if you don't have hi-tech available, you may follow this mother's example... THough I guess buying computer with internet access is still a slighter cheaper option)))
