There are many reasons for that, for example better level of education in foreign country, or perspectives for a future job after university. But what is it like?

Firs of all the positive aspects.

 1.       Independent

Leaving your family home is first step to start your own life, but when you are staying in your country it’s more difficult to achieve that. You are not obligated to move out and also you have your parents nearby. They can visit you at any time they want, it’s not as expensive and time consuming as traveling to your child who is in another country. Going to an university and living all alone is time of studying, not only in school but also in real life.

2.       Language

Studying abroad is also a great opportunity to develop your language skills. You are dealing with foreign languages (dependent on where you decide to study) on daily basis, making groceries, moving across the city, region or even country and just socializing with local community. So for example if you live in France you can master your French by just going out and buying baguettes.

3.       Contacts

Leaving your country is a great opportunity to make new relationships. You are improving your social skills, because in most cases you didn’t bring your friends along, so you need to make a new ones to fill the void of loneliness. You can be a better version of yourself, because no one knows your past. Having contacts around the world is very important for example in future business related cases or just gives you opportunity to visit your friend in yet another country.

4.       New culture

New country is also new culture, new traditions, new cuisine. You can broaden your mind and knowledge about other people and their culture. Tasting new food can be really fun and open you for even more exotic delights. Your life becomes more colorful and full of new inspiring experiences.

 As we all know there is always a negative side of everything, in case of studying abroad is the same.

 1.       Loneliness

When you are leaving your home you are very sensitive. Living in new place without close people, family, friends all alone can be hard. You are filling very lonely, you missing them. Also visiting each other is much more difficult task.

2.       Limits

Also the issue can be the differences between us and people in new place. They are having they own way to celebrate things their own traditions. The language barrier also can be a complication, learning but actually using a language is two different things.

3.       Racism

As we all know discrimination is unfortunately common in many places. It occurs that acceptation can be really hard not only for you, to accept the new environment but also for the environment to accept you. Also as a young person you can be a victim of racism. In your school or place of work. It’s sad but it’s true that even in our world haters are everywhere, sadly there is not much we can do to change that beside being good to others no matter how they are treating us.

Single-sex education

By
A little bit of history Single-sex education was traditional and dominating form of education till 19th century. Almost all schools and universities were single sex, which in almost all cases meant – men’s schools. This situation started to change because of two reasons: emancipation of women (fight for equality) and introduction of massive education. The first mixed-sex boarding school in UK was formed in 1818, it was Scottish Dollar Academy, and in 1878 the first university- University College London, allowed women  to enter on equal terms with men. What is interesting, the first Cambridge collage, which admit men and women was founded only on  1964. Pros and cons The topic of single-sex education is quite controversial. Like always there are pros and cons, some of them are quite irrational, other have a scientific background. The most popular arguments for single-sex education: 1. Boys and girls are learning in the different way, so they need differ...

THE MOST TRUSTED  PROFESSIONS Many people say that their job is important for our society, but is it a trustworthy profession? A market research institute asked people about trustworthy professions. Here you will find its results. The Top Five Most Trusted Professions 1. Firefighters A 2009 poll conducted by market research institute GfK found that firefighters ranked as the most trusted profession in Europe and the United States with 92 percent of respondents fining them trustworthy. Perhaps it’s all in the job description—being required to step into the face of danger every time you head out for an assignment is not just admirable, it’s downright heroic. 2. Teachers In the same GfK poll that lauded firefighters, teachers ranked second with 83 percent. It’s a good sign considering that the people responsible for crafting the minds of our children are deemed trustworthy. “I think every teacher recognizes that they are part of a trusted profession—that par...
