Yes, actually I'm dreaming to study abroad. Many of my classmates have gone to other countries for further study, and at times I admire them. I planned to go study overseas this September, but finnaly I gave up. The reason is that I want to go with my boyfriend, but the reality is that just one of us can have such an opportunity. But I don't regret for that. Love comes first for me. And I believe it's worthy. Many people think in this way: It doesn't matter where you're studying. What matters is how you study. To some extent, it's true. And I also believe that yourself is the major part in your study. However, studying overseas can be a great experience. And I see it as a fortune. :)

Hi! I think to study abroad will help you to know more about other country, Japen for a example! I think you also could learn a different way to think and act!

As a matter of fact, I also want to study abroad. Because I think if I study abroad, I could study together with students from different cultures. We could exchange our thoughts and opinions, and this could bring something new. I really hope one day my dream could come true.

During my degree we were told that there was an opportunity to study abroad for four months. Students had a choice of which country they could go to. I imagined that the program would be reallly popular. Not many students wished to go but I was one those that did. I was the only person to choose the Netherlands. A number of people chose Austria and few chose Spain. I studied at a teacher training college in Holland. I went to schools to see students teaching and had classes. I had English Literature lessons and Dutch language sessions.

I have thought of that.But now i don't think it is a wise way to learn abroad. In China,you can learn everything you want to learn.

I've been thinking about studying abroad for almost a year now. I can go there for a semester or two, so I was thinking London or Berlin. These are both very expensive places to live, but I can speak english and german. While I can't speak portuguese, where many students from my college go to study. Life there is supposed to be cheaper. But I would rather spend all my money on living in London or Berlin (an apartment) and not spend everything on clothes etc., just so I could live there for a few months of my life and experience the big city life. I also think I would be able to meet a lot of new people and make new friends, and my CV would look better, because I studied abroad.

HI! Yes, I have. Before I go to university I have thought of going study abroad, in Germany, but I had to have about 5000$ for deposit it, that the university there to know, that I will stay and study there! SO I hadn't got the money and I didn't go! But know I am happy about it, because I know, that I can't live away from my family and my country. When I was in Germany this summer, I thought of them every day and felt so sad, that I couldn't wait to come the day, when I had to go back!

Of course I have considered studying abroad, though after a week or so I stop because it's so damn expensive D:. It usually costs an extra 5K on top of tuition to go, so screw that. I was a People to People Student Ambassador in 2005, and went to France, Germany, Switzerland, and Spain for a total of 20 days. Freaking fantastic!

Most people consider study abroad which means will get a good job or have a good career. But I don't think so. I had the same thought before, I changed my mind after I travel back from US by myself. I notice that whether u study in ur own country or abroad is not the key point. Know how to learn from your life is more important. Learn from books can help u have knowledge, but learn from ur life can help u get the achievement.
