I raise this topic not just to ask you guys about the benefits of studying abroad. They seem to be so obvious. This topic is not new as well, as I saw it in some other forums (in Vietnamese), but here I would like us to discuss more deeply to the other side of its benefits.
For those who are studying abroad, it is not too bious to say that you have more advantages than those studying back home. Wandering around our Forum, I saw alot of discussion topics about the nonsenses, problems about low intellectual standards of the people, lack of creativity, lack of civilization or lack of union, etc in our country - Vietnam. (typical examples are the uncreative logo for Vietnamses Tourism or the honourable name of Golden Girl was awarded to the unsuitable person, etc). But instead of making things better, I realised that we just tried to criticize who has to take responsibility for all these things. Don't you think that it is because of the environment that you are living in?
For all of us who are studying abroad, wherever you are, US or UK, in Europe or in Asia, do you think you are learning in a better education system than Vietnam? Also, it is not too proud to say that you guys are our country's pride. But have you ever asked yourself a question, are you really better / more creative than those studying back home or it is just because you have a chance to study in a better environment? I would like to leave the answer to all of you.
Coming back to the main point of this topic, "studying abroad - what can you gain" , for me, they are:
+ Know how to live and work in the union / team building
+ Know how to catch oppotunity because "If you miss this window of opportunity, it's almost impossible to do later in life"
+ Gain infinite knowledge
+ Broaden my horizons. Life in Vietnam is pretty much the same day in, day out. Life overseas makes you see your everyday world in a whole new light.
+ More importantly, you know who you are and what are your limits, know how to overcome obstacles you've never met before, know how far can you push yourself and how independent are you.
And you? This is time to share your thoughts ")
